Hi,
For a perfect contraception, you have to take contraceptive pills regularly, without a break and at a fixed time of day (that means 100% contraception). Irregular intake of pills carries risk of ovulation and can cause pregnancy and such pregnancy needs to be terminated as pills are risky for the fetus.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
