Be sure to read your patient information brochure that comes with your pill; I do not know of any that says to take 3 pills at once! The correct way to take any missed pills (and save yourself the stress of irregular, breakthrough bleeding like you've experienced) is to "double-up" after the missed pills. For example, if you missed the 2 pills-in-a-row on Friday and Saturday:
Sunday: take Friday's missed pill and Sunday's regular pill
Monday: take Saturday's missed pill and Monday's regular pill
Tuesday: take one pill a day as usual
Be sure to talk with your doctor/nurse about how to correctly take missed pills if you are still uncertain, as this is very important to understand your medication.
Your irregular bleeding could very-well be from the irregular use of birth control pills in your system; there is also a slight chance of pregnancy with missed pills. It is best to call your doctor.
