Can missing two days of birth control mess up your cycle?

Yes: You should use an alternate form of contraception & continue the birth control pills. Your period may be irregular during this time.

Yes: When women miss pills it often results in vaginal bleeding. It also will limit the effectivness of the pill for birth control. So an alternate form of contraception is needed.
