To best of my knowledge, if you only missed the pill you were supposed to take on Wednesday and took your pill as normal on Thursday and Friday, you should be fine. If you're really worried about this it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor. If you had unprotected sex yesterday, (if that is what you mean by Friday) then you can get emergency contraception over the counter at the chemist, you will probably have to pay but it will be effective up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. The sooner you take it, the more effective it is. This probably won't be nessacary in this situation, but it may put your mind at rest if you really don't want to be pregnant. Hope that helps :)

 The chances are that you are still protected. It takes some time for the Pill to get out of your system. Especially if you took it on the Thursday and Friday? On the other hand teenage girls can get pregnant very easily. On balance I would not worry too much though.

 There could be quite a high chance that you are preganant. However if you were taking the pill for the other days then that could help your chances to not be. Take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.
