Noticing Delay In Periods After Taking Lutera Birth Control

I have been taking Lutera birth control for 9 months. I've gotten my period a few days early twice before, but this month, it came 2 weeks early. I did miss one pill, but I made up for it the next day. Does this mean the birth control is not effective? Am I at risk of getting pregnant?
