Can Missed Pill Cause Pregnancy?

hello, I would like to have an opinion on birth control pills. The thing is I ended my pack, and I wanted to skip my period so I started the next pack, but then 3 days after I started it I forgot to take one (19 hours skipped). I took it right away and my period didnt come. Is there a risk of getting pregnant if I don t use protection in the next seven days? Thanks
