No, that is not safe. You may become pregnant. You have to take the pills for them to work!

You can miss one pill and still be protected. As soon as you miss two within a week, you risk pregnancy, and you should use condoms during this time. Once you have taken the pills correctly for seven days in a row, you are protected again.

And- anytime you miss a pill, you should take it as soon as you remember to get caught up again, even if you take it with the next day's pill.
