Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I do not think you were at risk for becoming pregnant. Though you missed a dose on Monday, you did take two pills on Sunday.
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Hormone levels are kept at a constant level by taking a daily active, hormone containing pill. When you take the inactive, placebo pills, hormone levels drop and you have what is called break through bleeding.
