While it's rare, yes, a woman can get pregnant during her period. When you miss three days of birth control pills, it's possible to ovulate, and if you have unprotected sex during that time, it's possible for the egg to become fertilized and for you to become pregnant. You'll want to figure out when your next period is expected (I know it's hard since you're still spotting on this one) and, if it doesn't come on time, take a HPT to be sure.
