Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Missing birth control pills as per the schedule always carries a risk of pregnancy, when you have unprotected intercourse.
Since you have missed one pill in the regular schedule and compensated for it, you need to continue its intake as per the schedule.
Since you have got your periods, you need not worry about pregnancy.
However, kindly use other modes of contraception like condoms and spermicides, in case you have intercourse, till you get your periods, if this happens again.
Alternately, in case it is not more than 72 hours following unprotected intercourse, you can take an emergency contraceptive pill (morning-after pill), for which withdrawal bleeding should happen within 3 weeks.
If the periods gets delayed by any chance under such circumstances, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
