Hello,
POP pills need to be taken the same time every day.Because of your missed pills,its definite that you are not protected in this cycle. Since you lmp was 12 XXXXXXX you are probably having break through bleeding at present. You may get this due to improper pill intake.You are past the ovulation days, but too early to check for pregnancy.Unless you miss a period,no need to take a pregnancy test. But you should know that the improper pill use has left you unprotected in the future.
However,i must add that the nose bleed/headache isnt normal. I strongly suggest you get that investigated with further tests.
