Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Birth control pills are most effective when taken as directed. Also, they are usually effective the first month you begin taking them. But as a precautionary measure, a back up birth control method is recommended. If at any time you miss pills, you increase your risk for pregnancy.
Yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. Take a home pregnancy test to know for sure.
