The effectiveness rate on birth control pills is at it's highest when taken consecutively and consistently as directed. The more pills missed and missed consecutively, can increase your chance for pregnancy. It's hard to say how much you've increased your chances of becoming pregnant, but the potential is there.
The symptoms you're experiencing are typical for ovulation. To ease your mind, taking an early detection home pregnancy test is a good idea.
