Missing a birth control pill

Hey guys so I need your opinion!

I’m currently on Microgestin birth control pills and this morning I dropped my pill down the drain so I took the pill for tomorrow and now I’ll be short 1 pill at the end of the month. I called my doctor and the nurse said that I wouldn’t be protected for 2 months... have y’all ever had this happen? My boyfriend and I are sexually actively, however we also use condoms to ensure we’re being safe as we’re only 17. Do you guys think that the pills are doing anything to help protect against pregnancy still?
