You were just about to have seven days of no active pills, so don't worry about getting pregnant - by not having seven days off, you are actually LESS likely to get pregnant. Just carry on taking the new pack until you get to the end of it. The days will be a little screwed up, but if you want to reset those, do it by making your next period _shorter_, so you start the next pack on the right day of the week.
You are likely to get a mini period from having two days off your pill - that's how long it takes mine to start when I take the sugar pills.

No, you are still protected by the pill. You can take the sugar pills for 7 days and not get pregnant when you begin taking the hormonal pills again, so why would taking 2 hormonal pills within those 7 days cause you to get pregnant? Yeah, they say it's not good skip your period, but they have new b.c. pill that gives you a period every 3 months...and women do it when they have their honeymoons. It's not that big of a deal to do it every now and then.

No, you're fine. Just remember in the future that your period will probably start on Tuesdays rather than Sundays.
It's not unhealthy to skip periods when you're on the pill. If that were the case, then why would women stop getting their periods when they're on certain types of birth control pill? Wouldn't you think the FDA would pull those types of BCP?

You are fine. You could just take the active pills continuously without the sugar pills for months without a period or problem.
A period is unnecessary if you are on the pill.

i think the only thing you messed up was the date you should have your period and the day you should start the next pack. if it won't bother you (having your period on specific time of the week) i guess you should just continue what you have started.

follow them correctly...skipping periods is not good for your body let alone messing with your hormones.
