Hi and thanks for the query,
It is not very common that you easily get pregnant after missing a pill, especially if this occurs only once. however, it could happen in some rare occasions, especially with a history of a risky or unprotected sex. It would be a prudent attitude to get a pregancy test, though chances are slim. You will have to continue taking your pill as prescribed rather than starting to think of doubling doses to catch up. In case symptoms persist, you might seek the opinion of a gynecologist. for now, I really do not think you need to bother much.
