Hello Angel93,
Because you missed 2 pills, didn't make up for the missed dose and had unprotected sex on that day, there is a chance of pregnancy.
A urine test can detect hCG levels about 12 to 14 days after conception. hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Calculate 14 days from the day you had unprotected sex and missed two pills, then take a pregnancy test.

Hello Angel93,
The light bleeding may the result of two missed doses of birth control pills that you did not make up for.
Combination oral contraceptive pills contain a synthetic form of the female hormone, estrogen and progestin.
These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle. Without the estrogen bump, the pituitary gland does not release other hormones that normally cause the ovaries to release mature eggs.
Synthetic progestin makes the uterine lining inhospitable to a fertilized egg.
By suddenly stopping the pill, you upset the hormone levels and triggered your body into starting a light menstrual flow.
