So you missed a pill and were late in taking two other pills, correct?

First of all, this should all be covered in the package insert that came with your pills. Familiarize yourself with the insert.

While your improper use isn't enough to make the pill completely ineffective, you didn't take it "perfectly" therefore your level of protection decreased. You weren't 99.9% protected against pregnancy during these missed/late pills, but the level of effectiveness probably didn't decrease too much.

If you want to be extra careful, use a back-up method for 7 days from the last missed/late pill.
