If you are not taking your pills, you are no longer protected from pregnancy. There is no “carry over” effect. If you have not been taking the pills for 2 weeks, there is the risk of pregnancy if you are having unprotected intercourse.

After discontinuing birth control pills, it may take some time for your body to become adjusted. It may take 1 to 3 months for your periods to return on a monthly basis. Until then, it is common to have some irregular spotting or bleeding. It is unlikely that you got pregnant and had a miscarriage within the past 2 weeks. Keep in mind, women ovulate before they have a bleed, so, even if your periods have not become regular, you can still become pregnant.
