Hello, and I hope I can answer your question.

Missing one birth control pill in a pack if you take the one you missed as soon as you remember rarely will result in an accidental pregnancy but missing two pills can trigger ovulation, which means that for the rest of this pack you are not protected from pregnancy. Your risk of conception depends on if you had unprotected sex 3-5 days after you missed your pills or not.

So I would just use a backup method of birth control until you finish this pack and if you miss your period do a pregnancy test. You do not need to worry if you find out you are pregnant the baby is not affected by the birth control pills you were taking.

I hope this advice was helpful and best wishes, Dr. Brown
