Yeah nothing is going to happen other than stomach cramps maybe or you may spot bleed a bit...but when you miss a pill it's just best to resume taking them immediately when you miss...Taking two one day is not gonna make up for the days you missed unfortunately.
If you are worried you may get pregnant I would say if you have been taking them for quite awhile I doubt it because they are in your system...But has it happened before to someone yes....

I doubt anything will happen but you're not supposed to take three in one day. If you missed 2 days in a row you're supposed to just stop taking it and wait till your period comes and then begin taking a new pack on the first day of your period. If you only missed one day you just take two pills the next day. (it usually has instructions on what to do if you missed pills on the pack of your pills)

Yes, don't do that anymore! I set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget! Be sure to check the instructions on your pills, you may need to skip the days with sugar pills and start a new pack early depending on what you take.

Also, different pills have different amounts of hormone in them. So I would probably use alternate protection for pregnancy until you start your new pack. Hope you feel ok =)

Nothing life threatening BUT don't be surprised if you end up with nausea and vomiting. Also, please do not forget to use extra protection for the rest of this pack.
Most 28 day cycle BCP (3 weeks active and 1 week placebo) that are not bi or triphasic are easy to catch up. Biphasic and triphasic pills have different guidelines for how to catch up If you miss 2 doses then double up the first day and then thesecond day instead of taking 3 at once. If you miss more than 3 days, you may as well just throw away the pack and start again because more than likely you'll either get your period or spot for some time.

PM me if you have any additional questions. HTH.
Oh yeah, don't feel bad about missing them or screwing up your routine. It happens to the best of us. Hell, I'm a pharmacist and did that once. Never again... never again...
Hopefully this made sense. I just came off a 16 hour shift and my Ambien is starting to kick in.

Yea, with all the pills I've taken, if you miss 2 days, on the 3rd, you're to take 2 (the two days you missed) and on the 4th take 2 (from the 3rd and the current).
I take mine at night (I work nights and it's always been easier for me to remember, plus I'm awake at 9pm way more than 7-9AM), so I've missed two, but I remember like 10hrs after forgetting the 2nd, so I take 2 then, and then one, 14hrs later, my normal time. Or sometimes, if I miss 1 at 9pm and don't remember until 24 hrs later, I take 1, take another 12 hours later, and take the next, on time, 12 hrs later. Make since? It seems to have worked for me. No babies, yet! Haha.
ALSO: If you ever, EVER, miss 2 pills, in a row, you are to use a back up protection (condoms, etc.) for a full week!
And yes, if you miss 3, throw away the pack and start a new. (Not sure if his holds true for Seasonale-type pills, such as I'm on, but thank god I haven't missed 3!)

I did the same thing. My mom forgot where she misplaced my birth control for like 2 days and she finally found them tonight. So I took Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays (tonight) which is three pills at once. I did this because when I had done this before I was fine. This time I definitely have the WORST stomach pains, I feel like im going to throw up.

Euh yes you might be pregnant or just sick because of the pill. See your gyneacologist as soon as possible, that's my advice.
I do hope everything will be ok for you.
