I have been on orthotricyclen for 2.5 years now. I saw that one of the light blue pills ( week 2 pills ) was lying on the ground. So apparrently I dropped it and have missed the pill. I am now on my last week non hormone pills the green ones. I do not remeber which day I actually missed the pill and have had sex after that. What are the chances of me getting pregnant. I am very tense . Thanks in advance for answering my question.

If you miss 1 tablet during the cycle then you should take the missed tablet as soon as you remember. Take the next tablet at the usual time. You may take 2 tablets in one day. Then continue your regular dosing schedule.
Did you have a period during that last week?
