Can I Get Pregnant Post Unprotected Sex Despite Missing A Birth Control Pill?

I recently just started a new pack of my birth control and I forgot to take one of the first week pill on the actual time which was 5:30pm so I took the missed pill the next day at 11am and then later took another pill at 5:30pm.. What are my chances of getting pregnant if I had unprotected sex two days later?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Actually it is desired to take birth control pill regularly at same time of a day. You had missed a pill in 1st week of course, but took it when remembered (11 am next day), at continued the following pills as per routine.
Good. This is what is expected on missing a pill, & you have done it.
In such condition, you have least cahnce of conception afterunprotected sex this month.
Still it' better to take extra precaution by using barrier method of contraception for 7 days .
thanks.
