Missed birth control pills

Looking to hear some thoughts or similar stories 🙃!

So I have been on Balziva for years which is a birth control pill that contains both progestin and an estrogen hormones. Besides using them to prevent pregnancy, I was also prescribed them to control migraines and stop periods from my OB since the periods were triggering the migraines. Anyhow, about 3 weeks ago I forgot to take 2 pills in a row and took one the following day and continued taking them from there. Iv had some slight spotting I’m guessing from missing the pills. However, if backup prevention was not used during that time frame what is the likelihood that I become pregnant ? Was my body still protected from the previous pills or out of my system?

Side note: I don’t have any symptoms that I can tell of being pregnant and I have taken some tests even though it’s early and there were negative. 😬

Thanks in advance

It’s hard to say how protected you were but I know I am the result of a single missed pill so it does happen. Hope it works out for you xx

If you've been on it a long time, only missed two days and you've had a negative test already, chances are you're not pregnant. I think all you could do is wait till your about 3 weeks past when you would have had sex and test again, as if you were pregnant you'd have enough pregnancy hormone by then to give you a result on your test.
