Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry.
There is no chance of pregnancy.
Desogestrel mini pill is highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
You took pill 12.5 hour late. It does not affect the effectiveness of pill to prevent pregnancy.
You did not miss any pill also.
I would suggest to take remaining pill regularly on specific time by putting reminder in mobile
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
