The risk of pregnancy when taking birth control pills consistently and correctly every time is less than 1% per year. When missing a pill, this effectiveness rate (of 99%) decreases; the more pills missed the more the effectiveness rate drops.
Your 1 missed pill is not a big concern, especially since you took it the next day as soon as you remembered.
