If I were you, I would make a doctor's appointment as soon as I could, but I would continue taking my pills as normal until then. But please know I have no medical training. That's just what I would do since the chance of being pregnant seems so remote.
The main reasons:
1. During the time when you missed pills and directly afterward, you didn't have sex. So you weren't pregnant then.
2. You didn't have sex between your last period and your new prescription. So since you're on birth control, your chance of being pregnant is about 3%. That still makes it possible, but much less likely.
3. If you're not pregnant and you stop the pills, you risk getting your cycle even more screwed up.
So: Less worry, breathe, and call the doctor's office. Today. OK?
