Hi I started a new birth control pack and its my first time with trigestrel. Will it cause any harm if I took the Saturday and Sunday red pills with the new pack?

Wow, if I read this correctly, are you saying you took 3 pills at once? Two from the old pack and one from the new? If so, never ever do that again. It probably won't kill you but the symptoms if any may be extreme and last long.
Never take Any kind of prescription drug differently than prescribed. Some times we forget a day and its best to wait until the right time the following day instead of doubling up.
The pills trick your body into believing it is already pregnant so an egg won't be released. But with many birth controls that are hormone based, many females actually get the symptoms of being pregnant, thats how well your body is tricked. So gaining weight even in breast, mood swings, nausea, and all the rest can happen. So if you take more than just one a day, even if its a placebo if you have the kind that allows you to get a period for a week, then any pregnancy symptoms can be worse. It also can really mess up your bodys ability to even have the period at the correct time and have lots of break through bleeding even while taking the active pills.
I know its all new to you and you just did what lots of people think of doing. But next time, call your pharmacist where you picked them up as they can counsel you what to do or not to do.
Also, if you ever double up, you may not have enough to last thru end of month. If you forget a couple days, then by end of month when you have a new pack, either throw the unused ones away or use them a day at a time and start the new pack later. A good way to remember to take it daily is to set an alarm on your cell to go off every day same time with the reminder to take the pill. Time of day doesnt matter, just that you are consistant.
The pill can only protect if taken as prescribed. When forgotten, that messes up what your body may do. It might not release an egg, but then again, it might. You don't want to take those chances.
If you do forget a pill, use a condom that day and the next couple days to be safe.
