Q: 

Hello. I finished my first pack (diane 35) and had intercourse during the 7 day break. I forgot to take my first pill at the 8th day. What should I do? Is there a chance of being pregnant?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Just for future reference, generally a question like this needs to be addressed immediately to a doctor or pharmacist and not to a website where you have no guarantee of a same-day response - it could be the next day (24 hours later) when you hear back.
If you missed the first day of you pills, take two the next day and then you'll be back to normal. You will be safe from sex during the non-pill days.
Best,
Susan
