Thank you for your question. Anytime you have sex, you risk the chance of becoming pregnant. Using birth control is preventative although, there is still a chance. Did you use a back up condom? Research indicates that if you take the Pill 7 consecutive days, you are protected although still there is a chance as there is no guarantee.
If you ever miss taking the Pill, you should always have a backup (condom), although you should always be using a condom anyhow since the Pill does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). I know this is a stressful time waiting and wondering but the only way you will really know is if you take a pregnancy test. You should wait to see if you miss your period or if you are concerned, try a pregnancy test as they are 99% accurate. I hope this helps.
