No. Not in any way, shape or form. Unless you start taking a new packet on the first day of your period you aren't protected for the first seven days.

If it's been less than 72 hours get yourself to a family planning clinic/GP/chemist and asks for the morning after pill.

If it's been more it's time for a pregnancy test, I'm afraid.

If you missed your pill in the last 7 days of your pack, you should have gone straight on to the next one. If this is the case, and you took a break, then you were not protected for the 1st week of the new pack.

Nope.
Time to take one of those pregnancy tests.
