Hello dear
I understand your concern
Birth control pill is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has only 0.5 % failure rate after regular use of birth control pill.
If you had used regularly without the missing pill then pregnancy is not possible.
Just wait for the period to come.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet
Hope this may help you
