Hi thanks for your question.
Yes you can get pregnant, if you forget to miss even single dose of your pill and you have missed the pills for 2 to 4 days. Chances of pregnancy are there. It is better for you to stop the pill and wait for the withdrawal which you may get if you have not conceived. In case of pregnancy there will be no bleeding and the pregnancy test may turn positive after 40 days from your last period. No pill don't cause miscarriage, you get withdrawal bleeding after stopping the pill which is normal
Hope this answers your question
