Seasonale... worried a little

So here's the deal. I started Seasonale about a year ago in the hopes of having a period only every 3 months. Problem was, BTB around week 8 drove me nuts, so since I know that it's common to "reschedule" AF by switching aroudn the placebo week, I have always opted to just take the placebo week once I start spotting at week 8 and just have the period then, then start the active pills again. I figure a period every 2 months still beats every month. Little more background - i'm not perfect, but i take the pill pretty much at 8am every day, once in a while on weekends i am a little later but never more than 3 hours, and I normally do it on time.
Also, this past weekend I was out of it in the morning and accidentally took TWO pills on Sunday (Sun and Mon's pills). Wasn't sure what to do (instructions say what to do when you miss a day, but not when you accidentally take more than one haha, guess i am real dumb)... so what I did was not take one the next day and then continued on Tuesday with my Tues pill. I haven't had sex since Friday of last week.
Now, I am on week 9 and no BTB which is weird because it always comes by then. So I decided to just force the period that week anyway, so on Wednesday (two days ago) I started the placebo pills.
My question is this: how long should I wait for AF before I start to get worried? This is the longest I've gone without any bleeding, and it's probably fine, but I'm worried anyway. Any advice is appreciated!
