Hello,

If you miss a dose of contraceptive pill, there is a chance of pregnancy. So, when you miss your period, I suggest to do a urine pregnancy test or a beta HCG test to confirm or exclude pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
