Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
That is not the way to use pills for birth control.
You have to be on the regular pill pack to have the contraceptive benefits.
For emergency contraception, distinct set of pills with other distinct formulations are available.
So yes there is a risk of pregnancy, particularly if you were mid cycle, around your peri ovulatory days.
Please use regular contraception in future.
Do take a pregnancy test if you skip your periods.
Take care.
