Brief Answer:
USE BACKUP AND START FRESH PACK NEXT MONTH
Detailed Answer:
Please understand that you have taken these pills most irregularly.
That is not the way of taking them.
Instead of benefitting from them, you are increasing your risks and side effects.
The bleeding is mostly due to the irregular intake of the pills.
Right now, do nothing.
Stop taking all pills and all kinds of hormones.
Just use a backup method of contraception ( condoms ) till your next period.
Start fresh pack from day 2 of cycle, only if you are able to remember and take the pills regularly.
There is no way to know if pregnancy has occurred or not, just take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after the last episode of unprotected sex.
Take care

Brief Answer:
AS BELOW
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I do not think you need a doctor, as this is in all probability your period.
This is an abnormal period resulting from improper and totally erratic use of the pills.
I did give you very clear cut instructions.
Please take NO HORMONES ( no pills ) for the next cycle.
Till then use a condom or alternative method.
Start the new pack from day 2 of your next period.
Please feel free to seek another opinion if you have a doubt.
Take care.
