Anon, thank you for your question, and welcome to EmpowHer!
The unprotected sex on the last day of your period shouldn't be a problem. It would only be a problem if for some reason you ovulated very very early and there was still sperm in your fallopian tubes from having sex that time.
But by missing three pills, even though you took them all (which is good), you need to use another form of birth control for seven days while you keep taking your pill. The pills prevent you from ovulating, and when you have missed even two, it increases your chances of pregnancy. You should continue taking your pills normally now, but use a condom, sponge (or diaphragm if you have one) for seven days to protect yourself from an unwanted pregnancy. After those seven days, you should be protected again.
Does that help? Have you had unprotected sex since Saturday?
