Brief Answer:
It's normal after skipping two days, pregnancy should be excluded

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand you concern.

Did you have unprotected intercourse the days that you skipped your birth control pills?

If yes, there is a chance of pregnancy.

I suggest you to do a pregnancy urine test to exclude the pregnancy.

Another possible cause of your symptoms can be the fact that you missed the pills.

This usually causes stomach cramps and bleeding.

The symptoms usually go away in a few days.

Meanwhile I suggest you to continue taking the birth control pills.

You can take anti-inflammatory medication for the stomach cramps such as Acetaminophen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
