Yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. You did well by remembering that you should take two for two days, but you actually need to do that as soon as you realize that you've missed. In other words:
You missed Sunday
You missed Monday
On Tuesday, you should take two (Sunday's pill and Monday's pill)
On Wednesday, you should take two (Tuesday's pill and Wednesday's pill)
Which means that by Thursday you are caught up and return to just taking one pill daily again.
And use an alternate form of birth control as well (like a condom) for seven days.
The second week is also the week in which, if you miss pills, you are the most likely to ovulate.
When are you expecting a period again? I realize that when taking Seasonale, you only have a period once every three months, correct? If that's coming up fairly soon, you can wait and see if you get your period on time. If it's not due for more than a month, you might want to wait until about a month after the unprotected sex and then take a home pregnancy test to be sure.
