Taking a daily active birth control pill prevents ovulation. When you miss an active pill, you should make up for the missed dose as soon as you realize it. That means two pills on one day.
If you miss more than one pill, make it up and back it up by having your partner use a condom.
By missing two consecutive doses, it was possible to trigger ovulation. Having intercourse at that time without back up protection could have resulted in pregnancy.
All that you can do is to continue to take your pills regularly and wait for withdrawal bleeding to happen.
