HI,
I understand your concern.
Actually oral contraceptives are to be taken regularly at the same time of day.. to have good contraceptive effect.
You had missed 2 pills at about mid cycle. You had taken them as soon as remembered. Mostly you will skip the risk.
Oral contraceptives taken for a long time, tends to reduce bleeding. This month late can be due to temporary hormone fluctuation by irregular consumption.
Still to exclude pregnancy you have to go for UPT after 8 days delay in menses.
Thanks.
