I cannot predict what your chances of pregnancy are.
Birth control pills are effective when taken every day, at the same time each day.
According to Planned Parenthood,
"You could become pregnant depending on when you miss pills and how many of them you miss. There is a highly increased chance of pregnancy if you go without hormones for seven or more days in a row. This could happen if you don’t start a new pack on time and/or forget to take the last one or two pills in the pack.
You may need a backup method of birth control if you have vaginal intercourse during the seven days after a missed pill."
Ovulation, when an ovary releases an egg, usually happens about 2 weeks before the start of a period. The changes of getting pregnant are greatest are 2 to 3 days before and 1 to 2 days after ovulation. As you get closer to your period, your chances are still good.
About the remaining two pills, Planned Parenthood says to
Do not finish pack. Throw away remaining pills.
Start next pack.
Honestly, since you could or could not be pregnant, use another form of birth control, like condoms, sponge, female condoms, until you get your period. If your period is late by at least a week, test for pregnancy.
If you get your period, you can start a new pack of birth control pills.
