Missed doses of Tri-Sprintec

So despite having an alarm set on my phone, I managed to miss Thursday and Friday's pill. I'm on Tri-sprintec and take my pill at 10pm everynight. I missed Thursday and Friday and the instructions say " If the patient misses two (2) active tablets in Week 1 or Week 2, the patient should take two (2) tablets the day she remembers and two (2) tablets the next day; and then continue taking one (1) tablet a day until she finishes the pack.".(The ones I missed are in week two). So I'm not sure if I understand these instructions, do I take Thursday and Friday's pills today and then Saturday and Sunday tomorrow? 

Should I be using back up bc? I've been taking it religiously otherwise.

EDIT: Also wanted to add that according to My Monthly Cycles I was last fertile on the 25th. and won't be fertile again until December 19th. How accurate are these calendars if I have a very normal cycle? 

Thanks!

Use back-up until you have taken seven active pills in a row -- so next Saturday.
