Hi Anonymous,
Were you expecting your period on Sunday? Were the pills for Friday and Saturday the last active pills in your pack? If so, you should be ok. Make sure to take your pills on time going forward to keep from worrying too much. Anytime you forget to take your pills you do increase the risk of accidental pregnancy. In those cases, and regularly, you may want to use a back-up method to be sure (condom, withdrawal, spermicide, etc.).
At any time, and for an immediate answer, you may want to call your prescribing doctor and ask the nurse what you should do.
For more information, please review these articles: Missing Birth Control Pills and Concerned About Pregnancy: Q&A, and Oops! Missed Birth Control Pill Advocacy Sheet.
