Okay ladies, I have a question. Yesterday I went to take my pill I dropped it on the floor and I couldn't find it. So I just didn't take one that day. I took it on time today. What are my chances of getting pregnant this week from missing one pill, if I take the rest of pills of time. This was also just after I had got done giving blood. Also, how will this affect me by missing this pill? Thanks for any help.

what you should have done was take the next pill yesterday. you will finish your pack a day earlier than usual. begin your next pack either a day earlier or on the scheduled day but use a backup method for at least seven days.

You should have just taken the next day's pill yesterday, then continued taking each pill 1 day early.

Anyway, completely missing a pill isn't going to make the pill completely ineffective, but your use certainly isn't considered "perfect." Your effectiveness rate has probably been decreased by a very small percentage, and pregnancy is still pretty unlikely, but not impossible if you have unprotected sex. If you want to be safe, use a back-up method for at least 7 days. Again, pregnancy is highly unlikely still, but it's your choice how careful you want to be.
