Hello,
If you skipped taking one pill and made it up on the next day, your cycle is protected. If you missed two pills in a row, your cycle is no longer protected and you need additional protection if you have an intercourse during such a cycle. In the current scenario, you can have an emergency pill or an emergency IUD insertion. Else, you can wait for your next period and go for a pregnancy test if you miss the period and plan further management. Please let your consultant check if the pack of pills are taken properly or not. Hope this helps.
