It does appear you have absolutely no idea what birth control is suppose to do.
Hormonal birth control pills stop the body from ovulating. They also tend to thicken the cervical mucus and thin the lining of the uterus. This means:
No egg is released from the ovary so that fertilization cannot occur.
The cervical mucus is too thick for sperm to travel.
The uterine lining is to thin to support the attachment of a newly fertilized egg.
Now, birth control pills aren't 100% effective. They're dramatically reduced in effectiveness if you have to double up. They're even more reduced in that effectiveness if you have to double up more than once or twice in a month. They're practically ineffective during the first few weeks (or month) of use.
Why?
Because of ovulation.
Ovulation is what your body does normally. It's natural for your body to release an egg from an ovary so that it may become fertilized. Missing a pill lets your hormones, which are telling the ovaries not to release an egg, drop. That drop, and the spike when you double-up, can cause an ovary to release an egg.
So, being so early into taking the pill, you pretty much weren't protected when you had intercourse. It is very, very important to follow the instructions in the pamphlet.
Doubling up your birth control pills is very unlikely to kill your unborn. I don't know how many girls I've read about taking multiple pills in hopes of killing their babies but...it doesn't happen. The hormones weren't designed to kill living things inside of the female body. For years women have been scared that hormonal birth control pills would hurt their babies and for years doctors have said it won't cause a miscarriage and that as soon as they realize they are pregnant that they should stop taking birth control (because, after all, it is giving an odd fluctuation of unnatural hormones) but that it isn't likely to cause a death.
So, continue to keep taking them.
On time.
Regularly.
Buy a watch and set a timer to it if you have to. Anything.
This is your life we're talking about. Your future. Your body. If you can't take the time to swallow one pill each day then maybe you should consider not having sexual intercourse.
