I took 2 birth control pills on the last day of the pack because I had forgotten to take the one the day before, because it is double the hormones on that last day could that delay my period 2 or 3 days later than normal?

Yes, it's possible that the double dose of hormones would delay your period. More information on delaying your menstrual period here:
