Missing three doses in a row and having intercourse without a backup method does put you at risk for becoming pregnant.
The daily dose of the birth control pill keeps your hormone levels at a constant level to prevent ovulation. By missing three consecutive doses, hormone levels drop. This can cause you to ovulate. With a released egg, having sex can lead to pregnancy.
