Glad I could help, and it always a good idea to call your doctor if you still are feeling uneasy.
Yes, you would have been protected during the placebo or "inactive pills". You missed two pills (as you said, this happens!), and followed the instructions by doubling-up afterwards. This was two months ago, and any pregnancy would be detected by now on a test.
I know it creates an uneasy feeling to have a late or missed period and not know why, but I believe the doctor will want to know that it has been between 50-55 days since your last period (rather than "two missed periods"). You technically had two periods in August, and it is strangely common for women to miss a month (or even more!) of periods. Just so you know, too, that when taking the pill...you don't actually have menstrual bleeding or periods, but the bleeding you experience is "withdrawal bleeding" when you take the inactive pills. You may not experience any withdrawal bleeding until your next week of inactive pills this month (hopefully that makes you feel better?).
