Brief Answer:
Yes, you need an emergency birth control to be safe!

Hi,
Missing your pills on two days makes the efficacy to be jeopardized. I will not want to take any further chances and will encourage you to take emergency birth control as soon as possible as we are running short of time. It is better to be safe than sorry and that’s what am doing right now.
Best wishes to you and keep me updated. Always try to take your pills as recommended for best results.
