Missing a pill in the last week of the active pills is, at least, less of a risk than earlier in your cycle, when you are most likely to ovulate if you miss a pill. There is still a risk, but less of one. When you miss a pill and don't make it up, the body simply doesn't get that day's dose of hormones; the risk is that it will kick in with its own and ovulate.
The fact that you always use backup protection is awesome. Good for you!
