The bleeding you are experiencing is referred to as breakthrough bleeding. The hormone level in your uterus has dropped as a result of missing one or more active pills.
Since you were sexually active during the time you missed pills, there is a chance of pregnancy. Take a home pregnancy test and schedule a check up to rule out infection or other causes of bleeding.
