So the other night I was having sex, the condom broke, but I was not worried because my girlfriend has been on the pill for about 3 months. However, jsut the other day she told me tha she has missed one of the active pills about 3 days ago (before we had sex), and just kept going, she didn't take 2 in one day like you are supposed to. However, she has been taking all the other pills regurlary...what are the chances of pregnancy here

Well you cant say for sure but I think if she normally takes them the right way and just messed up this time she prob. is not. but like I said you never know it can happen. there are many of us who have had babys while we were on bc. I am one of them only another form of bc. I would just wait and see if she gets her period and go from there. good luck

i also forgot to say that when she missed her pill it was a white active pill but she was already on her period, it was her last active pill

missing a pill makes the birth control effect less powerful, but it doesn't ruin all. plus she was on her period, I don't think she will get pregnant.

After missing a pill, you are supposed to follow the 7 day rule (or whatever your doctor has told you). That means no unprotected sex for 7 days. Although you were using a condom, it broke so your safety does goes down. i wouldn't worry though, your chances are small. Get a test done anyway.
