It is all in the timing. Did you miss the pill on the same day that you had intercourse?
The rule of seven is a good way to remember if you are at risk. Seven days without an active pill puts you at risk for becoming pregnant if you have unprotected (such as no backup method used) intercourse. The seven days include missing the first two days of a new pack (added to five days of placebo pills) and missing doses at the end of the pack.
