Hi Georgigirl,
Yes, you always risk the chance of pregnancy when you have sex, even on birth control. Since you missed pills, you are at a higher risk for pregnancy. You can use Plan B within 72 hours of your sexual experience so this can be used at this point for a backup method. Remember that when you use emergency contraceptive, you may experience irregular periods for a few months afterwards so do not be concerned if you have irregular bleeding. Bleeding is a good sign of not being pregnant.
