Hello Priya, welcome to healthcare forum. As with most medicines, when you take oral pills, its best to take them regularly. missing a pill for a day means you have to take 2 the next day; let me elaborate: suppose you take a pill every night and lets say one night you just forgot(human error, not a big issue!) The remedy is to take the missed pill the next morning and then again take the next scheduled night pill the same night, so that 21 pills are over in exact 21 days'time. In your case missing 2 or more pills may make you prone to pregnancy, hence wait for your next period, if it is delayed get a pregnancy test done as soon as possible to clarify things. If it turns out that you are actually pregnant, you should opt for an early abortion. I hope I have helped you in your dilemma
