nearly 2 weeks ago, on tues 21st april i think, i didnt take my pill, but didnt realize, that night i had sex with my boyf without a condom for a few mins, then he put on a condom.
i didnt realize i was a day behind until thursday, so then i took two.
what are the chances i could be pregnant?
the last pill i had before i missed was the monday morning around 8am.

One missed pill should not make your pill less effective as long as you later remember to take it. Since you did remember, but not until two days later, I would consider using back-up for the rest of your cycle just to be safe. You're probably not pregnant, but it is a good idea to be safe rather than sorry.

birthcontrol

missing one pill wont kill you, as long as you take two as soon as possible. if youve been on birthcontrol for a while, the hormones are still in your system and still fight off sperm, i had missed 4 days because i lost my pack, and i didnt get knocked up. ive called and asked planned parenthood many times.
