Usually what the pill says is that you should take it as soon as you remember, but if you miss it multiple times in 1 pack, you should use another form of birth control.  Sometimes women have odd symptoms during the pack if they have been off on taking the pill.  I have had break through bleeding when I shouldn't have been menstruating and tender breasts.
