Missed Birth Control Pills. Had Unprotected Sex. Have Nausea, Spotting. Pregnancy Chances?

I have missed 2 pills this month not in a row one last week (in the first week of a new pack) and one this week the day before yesterday (in the second week of the pack) have had unprotected sex a few times with my husband and am feeling really nauseaus today and have had a little spotting and am just wondering what the percentage is of getting pregnant when you miss 2 pills like that? I know i have to wait until my regular period to be sure so i can test. Also i took 2 pills yesterday when i remember could that be why i am nauseaus? thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

If you took the pill within 24 hours after missing the pill that can give protection towards the pregnancy.
But if you missed the pill totally, complete protection may not be expected.
The nausea can be due to high dose of pills as you said.
And spotting could be withdrawal bleeding due to missing the schedule.
Continue the remaining pills and if you miss the expected date of bleeding, for pregnancy test once.

Take care.
