Yes, it is advised that if you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. It is wise to use a backup method of birth control (or abstain) for at least 7 days - until 7 pills in a row are taken. Just to be on the safe side. I'd say your risk is low, however, if your period does not come, take a home pregnancy test.
