Take birth control for 4 months and got my period but having signs of pregnancy after a week? And was spotting too? Is that breakthrough bleeding
Pregnancy can happen. Women can get pregnant while on birth control pills. Breakthrough bleeding can happen while on birth control pills. If in doubt, the only way to resolve the uncertainty is by obtaining a urine or blood pregnancy test. If the test is negative within less than 5 days of intercourse, repeat the test a week after the last unprotected intercourse.

Missed 4 days of birth control, started breakthrough bleeding and had unprotected sex. One week later I'm cramping w/ no period. Pregnancy chances?
Probably not. Since you had unprotected sex, pregnancy is possible. Cramping isn't usually a sign of pregnancy. It's possible to cramp a little at implantation time, but that's fairly unusual. The only way you'll know is if you have a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks or so after having unprotected sex.

Stopped my birth control 3 days ago, started bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding or period? Period would be 2 weeks early.

If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
