Hello ma'am.

Your situation is encountered quite often and in case one dose/pill is missed it is advised to take two at the earliest the time you remember and also use a second form of contraception if you indulge in sexual intercourse around this time, but if a third dose is missed you will have to discontinue the whole course and report to a doctor at the earliest.

In such a scenario I would advice you to take a home pregnancy test with an early morning urine sample 2 weeks from the date you missed your pill. You might have yo conduct 2-3 such tests to confirn the result. Your chances are low, but pregnancy will still have to be ruled out.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
