Welcome to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
I do not think you are at risk of becoming pregnant. You did the right thing by doubling up to make up for the missed dose.
Were you instructed by your gynecologist to start taking the birth control pills on the first day of your period?
When you had sexual intercourse on May 9 and 11 were you still menstruating?
Beside the protection of the oral contraceptive, you would not have been ovulating on May 9 and 11. It was too soon in your menstrual cycle. You are at risk of conceiving when you have unprotected sex during ovulation. On average, the changes are greatest on days 13 to 16 of the menstrual cycle (day one of the menstrual period is the day you started your period -May 2).

Does this answer your question?
