Hello dear,
I understand your concern.In my opinion the birth control pills are effective of
all contraception methods if taken regularly.
Though you have missed the pills as you have taken the missed pills it can be taken as regular intake.The chances of pregnancy are rare.
But if at all the period is missed I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period and consult doctor.Nothing to worry.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
