MESSED UP MY BIRTH CONTROL!! HOW DO I MAKE MY CYCLE NORMAL AGAIN?

I've been on BC for about 4 months now (not long, I know). With midterms and school work I've missed some days (plus my doctor gave it to me late one month so I was already behind). Case and point, I've missed days, tried to make up for those days, missed more days, and now i'm so off on my schedule. One week I took two pills in one day, missed the next day, took two pills the next two days (even though I think I've compensated for the pills I've missed). SO I honestly have no idea which pill I SHOULD be on. I've now been bleeding for the past 5 days and just started my 3rd week so I know something is really screwed up. SEX AND PREGNANCY REASONS ASIDE (because ALL I care about is fixing the schedule--I use other forms of contraception), here are my options/question to be answered:

1) should I continue with the current pack/current week of pills without missing days and see how it goes?
2) Should I start a new pack on Sunday and see if it fixes my schedule?
3) Should I stop birth control altogether until I can figure out where I am in my schedule and then restart it once my body fixes itself on it's own?

Hi you never have to take to pills in one day and dont try to replace the missing days  .
In my opinon you have to wait for you periods and start the pills the first day of you periods i hope this help otherwise see a doctor take care
