I'm confused. You missed one pill three weeks ago but have otherwise taken the pill as directed? Is that what you're saying?
If so, what is done is done and you can only continue taking the pill and hope your period comes as scheduled. You should have doubled up on the pill the next day (June 7) or taken a pill as soon as you realized your mistake.
