Thanks for query.yes there is every chance of getting conceived if you miss a pill.this is what guideline says

IF YOU MISS MORE THAN ONE PILL IN THE FIRST SEVEN DAYS OF A NEW PACK OF PILLS, OR START A NEW PACK MORE THAN 24 HOURS LATE and you have had sex in the hormone pill break, or have sex in the seven days after the pills are missed, you should consider using the Emergency Contraceptive Pill (ECP). The ECP is available from pharmacies without a prescription. You will need to use other contraception such as condoms for the next seven days, as well as continuing with the Pill.
So check with urine pregnancy test and confirm.regards
