Q: Missed Pills

Hey guys. I have only been taking ortho tri cyclen for 4 months. Im a newlywed. I'm 2 weeks into a new pack and I missed the 1st pill of the new pack. I just missed the 2nd and 3rd light blue pill and did not use another form of birth control. I'm wondering if I could have ovulated? Could I be pregnant?

Usually, any time you miss 2 pills or more, you should use a back-up form of birth control. There is a slight possibility that you could have ovulated. However, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just be sure to use a back-up form for the rest of your cycle.
