Missed birth control pills

Good day to all! I have a question please. I've been on birth control pills for a while now. I just had my "period" on April 30 to May 2. Then two days ago, I missed taking two pills. Today, I am bleeding. I took two pills to recover the last two I did not take and plans to take two pills again tomorrow to be back on track. Am I doing the right thing? I am planning to stop using bc but I am trying to minimize the breakthrough bleeding.
Thank you for your response

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

Your bleeding is due to missing your pills as you suspect. You are making the pills up correctly but make sure that you use a condom if you have sex within the next 7 days.
Best,
Susan
