Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Missed pills for two to threes days doesn’t cause contraceptive failure. However it is better to take a backup method like condoms for safety. If you miss a pill, take two in the next day instead of one pill. You can do a urine pregnancy test for reassurance after two weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
