if the 3 days that you DIDN"T take them were placebo(white inactive pills) then you should be ok,they're just reminder pills...if you missed 3 ACTIVE pills, you definitely need to use another form of protection....

You should be safe by the time your birthday rolls around since you will have been taking pills properly for more than one week - you'll be at two full weeks, and thus totally protected.

May I ask what brand you are on? It's just that on Orth-Tricyclen Lo, the FIRST active week is white, but on other pills I suppose the placebo (sugar/inactive/period) pills could be white instead.
