I'm confused as to what pills you missed; aren't your pills still in the case, so you know what day pill you took vs. missed?
It sounds like you only missed 1 pill, and then doubled-up as soon as you remembered. This is nothing to be concerned about; the pill when taken consistently & correctly is 99% effective (meaning, there is still less than a 1% chance of pregnancy, even when taking the pill "perfectly"!), and missing one pill will likely not effect this efficacy rate. When you miss 2 more more pills in-a-row is when the effectiveness rate decreases significantly.
