Missed birth control... Pregnant?

I've been on birth control for about 5 years now. Within this past cycle, which has been about 2 weeks, I've been missing so many pills (just by forgetfulness). 2 days in a row, then I take 1, and then miss 1 again, and then take 1.

I am sexually active and because I'm on the pill, we don't use any type of contraceptives or any type of "pull out" method. Usually if I miss 1, I've never gotten pregnant but now I'm a little afraid cause it's been frequently missed, and days in a row.

Has anyone gotten pregnant from this happening? Or know how safe I am right now?

It could very well happen.  I'd suggest using a back-up method for the rest of the pack just to make sure.  Is it possible to set an alarm on your phone to help ensure no more are taken so late?
