I missed a pill. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,

I've been on the Pill for almost 4 months. I take 21 pill packs.

I started this months pack last friday. I took every Pill regularly, except on wednesday. That day I forgot it. Sadly, on Thursday I took my pill a few hours later than usual (sitll in the 12 hour range though), so then I noticed I hadn't taken wednesday's pill, and had both at the same time. On friday I just had my normal pill at usual time I take them.

It's the first time I miss a pill.

I had sex, without a condom today (me and my BF both have been tested, and we are both fine), so I don't know, are there many chances I could be pregnant? Has anyone gone through something like this before?

Thanks.

lilmisse2424 agony auntIf you miss a pill and have had unprotected sex, there is a chance of getting pregnant. I'm not on the pill and I know what you are going through, and I went through that last month, so if I were you, I would go to your local pharmacy and ask for the Plan B pill, which is an emergency contraceptive that helps prevent your chances of getting pregnant. I would recommend having protected sex afterwards.

candy00s agony auntI would say that it is unlikely but there is a small possibility so id recommend the morning after pill to be on the safe side.
