It's very understandable that you would be concerned and confused and very frustrated right now. You've certainly been through a lot!
You mention your next shot was due in August, does that mean you did not have one, continued on the birth control pills and then missed three pills? If so, skipping the pills could be contributing to the irregular cycles. You also mention having unprotected sex after skipping the pills. Any time you have unprotected sex it can result in a pregnancy. It would be advisable to have a pregnancy test and to also set up a visit with your gynecologist to get help in sorting out which birth control options would be best for you in light of the problems you have had in the past.
