Hi xXcomablackXx,
If you truly have been bleeding for the past month, it warrants a visit to the doctor or urgent care. Were you prescribed the birth control pills to control irregular periods or for birth control? If you are having trouble remembering to take the pill, try associating it with something like brushing your teeth (assuming you do that the same time every day). I used to take my birth control pills at bed time--it worked for me. If you continue to have trouble remembering, you may need to re-evaluate your birth control options. And like Cary said, use a backup method or abstain from sex if you're concerned about unwanted pregnancy.
Here is an article on EmpowHER about birth control and effectiveness:
