Breakthrougbleeding : Yes. If oral contraceptive pills are taken inconsistently you will likely experience breakthrough bleeding and increase you risk of pregnancy.

Withdrawal: Withdrawal bleeding occurs at the end of each cycle when you move from the active pills to the placebo. So when you skip the pills for a few days you may bleed.
