Pregnancy is unlikely since you are bleeding but not impossible. Whenever you miss pills, you need to make them up and it doesn’t sound like you did. When you miss two or more pills in a row, you should take two pills a day until you are caught and then resume the one pill daily schedule. You should also use a back-up method (for example, condoms) along with your pills for the next 14 days.
If you frequently miss pills, you may want to contact the medical provider who prescribed your pill to discuss a method change. If you would like to stay on the pill and you have a cell phone, you can set your alarm to go off at a certain time each day to remind you to take a pill. You can also register for free daily text reminders on www.bedsider.org.
If you don’t have any bleeding at all during your sugar pills (the last week of your pill pack), take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result. Do not stop taking your pills unless you test positive for pregnancy.
