Did you make up for the missed pills by taking the missed doses as you as you realized what had happened?
There is a rule of 7 when it comes to missing birth control pills. Timing is also crucial. Going seven days without an active hormone pills eliminates the protection provided by the pill. So, you would have been taking the inactive pills for five days then missed at least two more doses.
By now, I'm guessing either you started your period or have started a new pack?

Check with your gynecologist as to what to do.
