HELP: Forgot the Pill and Period Issues

Hello

Ok here's the story... I am not one to forget a pill but this month I happened to forget to take a pill. During this the begining of the current pack I am on (I am on Marvelon 28) I forgot to take one pill on two different days. My doc says if that happens I should take the pill when I remember. So i took 2 pills on the same days, once during my first week and another time during my second week.

So now its my 4th week and i should be on my period. I am a sunday starter. usually i get my period on tuesday of the 4th week. Well today is tuesday and I have not gotten my period. So needless to say i am very worried. Has this type of thing happened to anyone before? Do you think I could be pregnant? When would be the best time to take a home pregnance test?

Any comments would be greatly appriciated

Thank you!

Usually we recommend using backup protection for 7 days whenever you miss a pill.
