Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. This happens because a daily dose of the active pill keeps hormone levels constant. When you miss a dose and do not make up for it as soon as possible, hormone levels drop and ovulation can occur. Not using alternate birth control, like a condom, during intercourse does present the chance for pregnancy.
You are at a higher risk if you go without a daily active pill for seven consecutive days.
You were at a low risk by missing two consecutive doses. But, you will only know if you conceived if you do not have vaginal bleeding during the period of the inactive pills.
