Is Pregnancy Possible While Having Breakthrough Bleeding And Heavy Bleeding?

I started my birth control pack two days late (missing Sunday & Monday), and taking 2 pills the next day (Tues) and 1 pill the day after that (Wed). I then missed the next 5 days and had unprotected sex. I have not taken any additional pills yet this month, and I probably won t until I am able to confirm there is no chance of pregnancy. I am happily married, so pregnancy would not be the end of the world, but 2 days ago I started what I guess is called breakthrough bleeding . Heavy bleeding for 2 days, and today has been light and is pretty much done. Can I still be pregnant having this, and if so, when would be a good time to take a pregnancy test?
