HI,

Missing birth control pills can definitely lead to pregnancy.

YOu started pills very late and had sex in 3 days of starting them so your chances of pregnancy are there.

I will advise you to take plan B and continue the birth pills and also use condom for the rest of this month.

Regards,

Dr Biswas MD
