Can A Double Dose After Missing A Pill Prevent Getting Pregnant?

Hello,

Wonder if you can help.

Last Thursday, I had missed a pill (micorgynon) and on Friday I took Thursday's pill and Friday's. I have continued to take the rest of the pack, the last pill being Monday.

Thing is, on Friday, i forgot all about the missed pill and had sex with my partner. NHS Direct and other websites state I would still be protected and no other contriception would be required. That said, come Monday, I panicked and took the Morning After Pill. Would this stop pregnancy?

Thanks
