Hi Abbigail,
Thanks for your question and for being a part of the EmpowHER community. Since you were on the pill last thursday, you weren't unprotected. You didn't have sex the days you forgot, and are abstaining for a week after missing. You have done everything you should (minus forgetting monday and tuesday), and should not have to worry about unwanted pregnancy. Since you are back on track now, you hopefully won't forget again. Who needs the stress, right?
Here is an article about how the pill works. I hope it helps explain better why you "should" be OK:

Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.
