Hello ma'am and welcome.

As per the rule of birth control pills, if you miss one dose you are advised to take it as soon as you remember. If you miss two doses, discontinue the pack, use other forms of contraception (eg. Condoms) and report to your prescribing doctor.

I would have prefered it if you would report to your doctor, but as you have continued the pack, ruling out pregnancy may be a wise choice, although the chances of pregnancy might be slim.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
