I missed 1 pill on Monday and took two the next day to make it up. On Wednesday I missed my pill again but I started light bleeding, and I still had 2 more active pills left in the pack. What are the chances of me being pregnant

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
It usually takes about one to two weeks of being off the pill to ovulate. Since you started being a little, that is a good sign the pills are still active and you will not become pregnant. In the future do not double up when you miss a pill. Simply start where you left off, taking one pill at a time. This will ensure that you do not cause any hormonal imbalances or spotting.
