Missed 2 pills... so take a week off???

Ok, so I missed two pills in a row. I was about half way through a 21 day pack. So I decided to stop for 7 days and then start on a new pack. There is no chance that I can be pregnant because my boyfriend is away right now, so I'm ok there. I just don't want to screw my body up, kwim?

So, it's only been 3 days into my "week off", should I expect a period or not, because I only had 11 days worth of pills??? Does that make sense? Is there enough time for my body to even build up a lining and then shed it? I'm supposed to start my new pack on Friday, because that will have been 7 days. I feel so stupid for screwing up my pills, this is the first time that I've screwed up in 2 and a half years!! At least it happened while my BF was away!! Thanks for any advice, I know you ladies are great!

Thanks Jill! I thought I did the right thing by stopping for a week, but didn't know for sure. I'll keep you guys updated!
