I think you should be protected against getting pregnant on the night which you ditched the condom.
I say this because, you have taken your daily birth control except for the one day of starting the next pack late. Even then, you made up for the missed or late dose, just as directed.
I would be very cautious about taking Plan B if you only think you missed a day of taking your pill and also had intercourse on that day.
Plan B contains the same synthetic reproductive hormones that are found in most birth control pills, but at a higher dose. It could be risky to take an additional and high dose of this hormone, if you are not certain that you actually missed a dose.
Talk to your gynecologist about this. I do not want to give you incorrect information which can potentially cause you harm.
