Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. That happens because taking an active pill at the same time each day keeps hormone levels constant.
Missing active pills in a row without making up for the missed doses as soon as possible can cause hormone levels to drop which can trigger ovulation.
You should have taken two pills on Monday and two pills on Tuesday to make up for the mistake.
Continue to take your daily pill. Wait for the week of inactive pills and see if you have withdrawal bleeding. No bleeding, test and contact your gynecologist.
