Hi,
If you miss three pills in-a-row, the effectiveness of your birth control is decreased. Since you had unprotected sex, the sperm can live inside your body for 3-5 days (most likely 1-2 days, since your pills create an environment in your body that is not as "pleasing" to the sperm!). Either way, there is a risk for pregnancy.
If it has been 120 hours or less since you had unprotected sex, you could choose to take emergency contraceptive.
