Taking Levlen. Skipped Sugar Pills. Have Breakthrough Bleeding. How Long Will It Last?

Taking Levlen for 4+ months. Have been skipping the sugar pills every month (without any break through bleeding) and this cycle (missed one beige tablet) I have started breakthrough bleeding for 10 days. I take the pill daily exactly at 8:00am



Is this normal and how long will the bleeding last for? Do I keep taking the pill?
