Birth control stops working after TWO missed days. That means if you were off birth control for two weeks, you were having completely unprotected sex, and you could indeed be pregnant if you ovulated.

Taking those two pills after sex did NOTHING. It takes a full week for birth control to become effective.

I hope you're not pregnant either, so you need to wait for your period to be due (28 days from when you stopped taking the pills) and see if it comes. Because you stopped incorrectly, there is no way to predict when your next period will come. The best you can do is wait until about 2 weeks after you had sex and test if your period hasn't come yet.
