Pills are one of the most effective methods of birth control but only if they are taken exactly as prescribed. Once you start taking them at different times, skipping doses, and having unprotected sex-- that 99% effectiveness starts to dwindle down. Since you had sex on a night when you missed a pill, there is a chance that you may not have been protected. Continue to take your pills daily and, if necessary, set up an alarm to remind you to take them daily.
