Your pill is only 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken consistently and correctly. Anytime you miss pills, especially consecutive days, this effectiveness rate decreases, and your chances of pregnancy may increase.
Since you knew you missed pills prior to having sex, it is imperative that you make choices to prevent unwanted pregnancy and use a condom. It's really that easy! If you miss pills, you need to use a back-up form of birth control for the following 7 days.
