After Having Intercourse Could I Be Pregnant, If I Missed A Tri-cyclen Pill?

Hello,
I just started a new pill pack of Tricyclen Lo on Sunday, but then missed the following Saturday's pill and didn't notice until Sunday, at which time I took both (so I was 24 hours late taking Saturday's pill). My husband and I had intercourse on Thursday. Is pregnancy a possibility?
Thanks,
Shannon

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Oral contraceptive pills have to be used regularly to be effective. But as you missed only one pill and consumed the same within 24 hours the chance that you may become pregnant are remote if you take rest of pills regularly.
Thanks.
