Call your doctor's office first thing tomorrow and ask them what to do. AND use another form of birth control until you've talked with your doctor and are back on schedule with the pill. You also need to stop and think about this. If you can't take them on a regular schedule, they're not going to protect you from pregnancy and will mess with your hormonal balance.

Stop taking your pills immediately. Right in the instructions it says if you miss 3 pills in a row to throw out the pills and start a new pack. The dr. who prescribed them should have told you this too. Any time you miss a pill it wont hurt to use a condom, though missing 1 wont compromise the protection.
Call your dr. or gyno and tell them your situation. After missing the pill for 3 days your period should start. Taking the pills again will really screw with your hormones. And if you are pregnant the pills can be a bad thing.
The most important thing is to take your pills responsibly, use another means of bc if there is any question about protection, and communicate with your dr. whenever you have a question. If you can't take pills regullarly, try a longer term bc method.

Its too soon to take a birth control test but you can go to your doctor and get a blood test done. I would stop taking the pills till you know for sure. And don't have sex till you are back on birth control if you are not pregnant. You should consider a birth control that you take monthly or yearly so this doesn't happen again. You can get the Depo shot which is a shot every 3 months. or you can get a IUD which there is 2 diffrent kinds, one is for 5 yrs and the other is for 10. Or you can even get the patch which is weekly. Good Luck!

If you missed them in the week just after your period then you have a much higher chance of becoming pregnant. Keep taking them until you actually have a postive pregnancy test (check 1 week after you would normally have your period).
They won't hurt a baby if you are pregnant, and will help protect you from pregnancy if you aren't. Just keep taking them every day, and if you miss one, use condoms for the next seven days of active pills.
It's common to have all the symptoms of a period if you have missed even one pill, so missing a few will give you pms.

just wait until you it's time for your period. If you are late, take a test. If you aren't, maybe switch birth control to something that is easier to remember.
