Hi, JHuncar, and thank you for your question.
Could you explain a little more about what you mean? Do you take your pills every day at the same time?
Have you missed taking some of your pills? How many?
Have you had unprotected sex during the time without your pills?
Please fill us in a little more so we can see if we can help you.

i though i forgot to take my pills last friday (Agust 28, 2009). the next day i take 2 pills, continuing taking pills, i check my pill for next fruday (September 4, 2009) i noticed that i already take the pill for that day. last friday August 28, 2009, i didnt forgot to take my pill. i take a wrong pill, i take a pill in advance, the pill for september 4, 2009-i take it last August 28, 2009, then the pill for august 28, i take it August 29 together with the 1 pill for that day. in september 4, 2009 i didnt take any pill. in the next day i continue to take my pill up to now. In the week August 28 i expected my period but my period did not come until now. there is a possibility to got pregnant?

jhuncar,
I'm confused on all the dates...but if I have this correct, it sounds like you doubled-up accidentally (when you didn't need to), which caused you to have one-less pill needed, and thus, you missed taking a pill on September 4th.
Basically, if you miss one day of taking the pill, then double-up (even if you doubled-up the day before), then your risk of pregnancy does not increase significantly. Please know, that the pill is not 100% effective (it is close...99%), but when a pill is missed, it is recommended that you use back-up protection for 7 days afterwards. It is highly unlikely to become pregnant after missing one pill, but could potentially happen.
It is now September 17th...did your period start yet?
