Hi , Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking Your Query here Coming to your concern , However a missed pill doesn’t automatically result in an unwanted pregnancy. Much depends on the type of pill you are taking and the number of pills you have missed and If you’ve missed one pill you’re still protected against pregnancy. You don’t need to use any extra contraception Simply Take the pill you missed immediately (even if this means taking two pill in a day) Continue taking the rest of the pack as normal.
If you still have any doubt you can always contact your Gynecologist
I hope it helps Thanks again
