No. If you have taken your pill everyday as you should have and didn't skip any pills your chance of getting pregnant is slim. If you did skip/miss pills yes there is a chance.
Yes, you can skip the sugar pills on Tricyclen Lo if you like. Usually the triphasic pills -- the ones with three colors of active pills denoting three levels of hormones -- aren't the ideal ones to use to skip periods; you may be more likely to have unscheduled bleeding than if you used a different pill. If you have that problem, and want to skip often, consider calling your health care provider to discuss a possible pill change to a monophasic pill.
The sugar pills are purely to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. As long as you take the pills containing hormones at the right time every day, you have a low chance of getting pregnant
Skipping sugar pills to avoid a period reduces, and does not raise, your risk of getting pregnant on the pill.

Ack! There are no sugar pills in the mini pill! There are only active pills, 28 of them in each pack, and you must take one daily in order to avoid pregnancy. If you start skipping seven of them every month, you're going to get pregnant!

Since there is no active medication in the sugar pill, eating it or not eating it has no effect on your period.
No, you are OK and you would have to skip a lot more to have a pregnancy worry. Take your pill the same time every morning and you won't have to worry about it.
