OK. It still sounds like you should be ok. The pill prevents ovulation, and you were at higher risk that Saturday night, but the time that is really worrisome is when you miss two pills in a row.
Normally, the pill, taken as prescribed, is about 99% effective. Your missing that pill will take that effectiveness down somewhat, but it should still be a high number because you only missed one day.
In the future, try taking your pill when you do another habit every day. Put your pill pack by your toothpaste, and take it at night when you brush your teeth, for instance. Find another habit that you do without fail and tie taking the pill to that other habit. It will help you remember.
Do write back and let us know what happens, all right?
