Birth Control and More than one period

Is it possible to get an early (heavy and longer) than normal period after missing two pills? Also, if at the end of the pack you do in fact get your period totally normal (or slightly heavier flow). Note, there was no unprotected sex and no ejaculation during intercourse. Is there any chance of being pregnant? If the next normal period is to come on time as usual, is there anything to worry about?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that missing two pills can certainly cause breakthrough bleeding at the wrong time of the cycle.
At the end of the cycle you may or may not have your normal period.
If you start the next pack at the appropriate time and take all the pills as directed, your period should be normal next cycle.
It is never wrong to test for pregnancy.
Good luck!

Thank you for your answer. I really do not think pregnancy is whats going on. I recently had appendicitis and am still healing from surgery, knowing that I am going to be sore in my abs for a while.
