Hi Pinkgreen9,
As you seem to be aware of, you wait until your next period before restarting a fresh new pack of your birth control pills. As you also know antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Between antibiotic treatment for the UTI and missed birth control, you have essentially not had effective birth control protection for almost 2 weeks, yet you have been sexually active.
There is a chance that you could be pregnant. You could take a home pregnancy test. Usually, for the most accuracy, babycenter.com recommends waiting a week after your expected period before testing.
If you want a quicker answer, I suggest you see your doctor or visit a Planned Parenthood office to get a blood test to determine pregnancy.
Here is the link to Planned Parenthood:

Hope this has been of some help.
