Missed Pills. Haven't Had Period. Other Warning Signals?

Hi there, I missed two pills non consecutively in the first 2 weeks of the pack (Im on Yasmin), and took them the second I remembered with the pill for the next day. I was very causious there after, however, I have now had no period for the month, but with all of the same pre-warning symptoms in place? Should this be a concern, or is it normal considering I missed two days at different times of the cycle? Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,
There is high chance of failure of contraception after missing two pills consecutively, but chance of pregnancy after missing missing two pills non consecutively is low(but not zero). You can just check with pregnancy test if you have doubt.
