Yes: It is possible to have a follicle (egg) develop after 3 missed pills, especially if the pills missed are the first 3. Follicles are already developing in the pill free interval and missing any of the first three days can allow a follicle to continue and ovulation could occur despite pills on or about cycle day 14. Often bleeding will start after 3 missed pills also . need other contraception.
