Hello, Sarah29! Thank you for posting.
You should be fine, yes. Especially as you used a condom and you are otherwise regular in taking your pill. If you are less than 24 hours late taking your pill, take your late pill as soon as you remember. Even if that means taking 2 the same day. Then continue taking the rest of your pills at your usual time.
best,
Helena
