Start next pack : It is a little hard to follow the exact time line of your question but if you are missing pills then the birth control is less reliable. You may also trigger irregular bleeding. Checking a pregnancy about 3 weeks after intercourse is a good idea. Stay on your pills. Consider switching to an IUD or Implant to avoid having to remember to take a pill everyday
