If it was me, and i didnt wanna get pregnant id wait the extra 7 days just to be sure or use extra protection.

this is what i know--

If you forget your pills for a day, follow these instructions:

If you forget 1 pill and 12 to 24 hours have elapsed since your last pill, take it as soon as you remember, then take your regular pill for that day at the same time you usually take it. Use condoms for the next 7 days.

hope this helps!

If you only missed one pill, then you are still protected. Read the insert that comes with your pill. It tells you what you should do if you miss a pill. Mine says if you miss only one pill, then just take it as soon as you remember, and that you don't need to use a back up method because you are still protected. If you miss 2 or more pills then you need to use a back up method of a week, but since you said you only missed one pill, then you are fine to have unprotected sex if you want.
