Well when ever you miss your pill thiers a risk. You should always wait a couple days to make sure everything is back on track. If you have any concerns wait to see if you miss your next period and if you do then take a pregnancy test. Good luck, hope this helped.

Your risk is low since it was your last pill. Use additional protection for the first week you are back on your active pills if you are concerned.

There is a risk of pregnancy because of the missed pills and waiting nine days (not seven) before starting the next.

You should use backup for seven days, or take plan b if it's not too late.
