As long as you took them as soon as you remembered. And didn't forget them in a row you should be fine. If you are having a problem remembering the pill I suggest trying the patch.

When missed pills cause an early period do you have your period when it is usually time even though it will be the second time in a month?

If you miss 3 or more pills it can cause you to have a period even thought its the 2nd period that month. This is because you missed pills. Missing pills puts you at high risk of pregnancy and problems in your cycle and how well the pill will prevent pregnancy.
