If you skipped a month of pills and have had unprotected sex you may be pregnant. You should talk to your doctor/gynecologist immediately about the situation and take a pregnancy test. Birth control pills only work when taken everyday at the same time.
In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills. If you skip active pills, your period will be early and you increase the risk of pregnancy. If you skip placebo pills, your period will be delayed.
That is okay but if you have sexual intercourse the next month ensure you use an alternative method of contraception as the pill may not protect you straight away.

i take orto tri cyclen and I've skipped a day or two with the green pill but i still get my period
Hello, When you start birth control, your period will generally arrive around the time you started taking BC pills. During the "sugar pill" you will get your period.
Sometimes skipping the sugar pills can result in a earlier period which could be why you're cramping. After your period arrives the cramping should receed. Meanwhile don't miss anymore pills.
Yes, 4 days of birth control can cause an irregular period as the birth control messes up your hormones and throws your body's natural rhythm out of whack.
can you get pergnent if you took birth control pills only twice last month then had your period but had unprotected sex after your period will you get your period the next month??
You say you skipped placebo pills to get your period earlier, but then it sounds like you waited an additional week before starting a new pack. If you went 14 days without an active pill, you definitely put yourself at risk of pregnancy and should take a pregnancy test. If you want to skip placebos, follow the rule to never go more than seven days without taking an active pill.
You can delay your period by continuing to take your pills. You shouldn't get your period when on the pill, hence the placebo week where you do. I've skipped my period before because I was going on vacation, if you're on the mono kind of pill it's really easy to do this.
If you miss 3 or more pills it can cause you to have a period even thought its the 2nd period that month. This is because you missed pills. Missing pills puts you at high risk of pregnancy and problems in your cycle and how well the pill will prevent pregnancy.
As soon as you start your sugar pills on the new pack, or a little after you start taking the sugar pills.
