From : From the little information that is here, pregnancy is possible. When you miss taking your birth control pills, it puts you at risk for pregnancy. Symptoms of early pregnancy can include: lack of a period, breast enlargement and / or tenderness, nausea, mild cramping, feeling tired, food cravings etc. I recommend you take a pregnancy test.

Missing : Missing 3 days of birth control definitely puts you at risk for pregnancy. The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. You can either take a home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you - whichever is easier for you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come. I also attached some information on the birth control pill and what to do if you miss any.
