Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, you need not to worry or think about plan B to prevent pregnancy. As you only missed the one pill and already taken that as soon as you remember, the chances of pregnancy very very unlikely. You should take remaining pills on time including today's pill.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suraj Khandhedia
