Hello,

I don't think you may need to do a pregnancy home test because you took the pill as soon as you remembered so the protection is not ruined. I don't think you risk to be pregnant. The period may come soon. Just continue to take pills everyday as recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
