Answer 1

When you take the pill, you don't have a "real" period like you do when you are not taking the pill.  Really, the only reason you have one at all is to reassure you that you are not pregnant.  Back in the 1950s, when women started to be prescribed the pill, doctors didn't think they would want to take it if it ended their period totally.  This is why you have the placebo pills towards the end of your pack.

Because you have missed more than 2 days, you need to start over on a new pill pack to ensure that you will stay protected, AND use protection for the next 2 weeks.

If in doubt, call your gyno.
