Hi Anonymous,
Anytime you forget to take your pills, it puts you at risk for getting pregnant. It usually is recommended that when you miss so many pills you throw away the pack and start a new one immediately. I agree with Cary that a backup method may be a good idea for you for the rest of this menstrual cycle. If you're having trouble remembering to take the pill often, a call to the prescribing doctor of your pills could help you find a different method of birth control that works better for you.

Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
