You are only partially protected. It is hard to say exactly how protected you are....if you took the pill everyday, never missed one, and took it at exactly the same time every day, it would be only 97% effective. Since you missed 2 days in a 2 week period, you are much LESS protected against pregnancy. If you want to be absolutely safe, I would use a backup method for 1 week, like a condom. Otherwise, you may be ok and not get pregnant, but on the otherhand, you could still get pregnant.
It's not an exact science, so just use a condom for a week if you want to be safe. If you had the unprotected sex within the last 3 days, you can get Plan B without a prescription at any pharmacy

you'd be pregnant. birth control pills are in trouble-free terms useful in case you're taking them as directed. i don't understand why you're asking this question. for sure you knew you weren't taking the pills so that you understand you'd be pregnant. you need to have study the tutorial that contain the pills, they allow you to understand that the most suitable 7 pills are inactive. you need to not be having sex because you're too youthful, yet in case you'll do it, then you quite want to apply condoms. you do not look responsible sufficient to be on the pill, and the pill would not take care of hostile to STDs besides.

You need to read the pamphlet that came with your pill pack.
most likely you are only partially protected and should use another form of birth control (condom) while having sex, for the next week or two.
But really, read your pamphlet, or do a google search for your particular contraceptive (Kariva, ortho evra etc).
