Brief Answer:
Less chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It takes 3-7 days for periods to come after stopping the pill pack so just wait for your periods for a couple of days.
But I would like to know if you used to take pills at same time everyday or not.
Also if you can recall tell me when did you miss the pill and the time interval after which you took the pill (after missing that).
Waiting for your response.
But you practically have really low risk of pregnancy if you used to take the pills on a particular time daily.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Safe from pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
You are safe then and nothing to worry.
It is good to take it within 2-3 hours of previous day time of intake of pill.
You missed pills in early pill cycle so no ovulation at that time to form a baby so nothing to worry and just wait for a couple of days for your periods.
Take care
