There's definitely a possibility--take a pregnancy test to be sure. These are the instructions from my prescription; yours may be different, but it's likely that they're similar:

One day late starting the next package: Take 2 pills as soon as you remember and one pill each day after. Use a backup form of Birth Control for two weeks.

Two days late starting the next package: Take 2 pills per day for 2 days, then continue as usual. Use a backup form of birth control for two weeks.

Three or more days late starting the next package:Call the clinic for instructions.

If you are not using a backup form of birth control already, START NOW. It is likely you're not fully protected, and you may not be until the end of this cycle.
