Q: Withdrawl And Missing a Pill

Hi.
I am new to this only because I really need some advice and have no one to talk to.. I am an 18 year old college student and have been on ortho tri cyclen for 2 and a half years and have always used a condom when I became sexually active with my boyfriend of 4 years a year ago. But tuesday I forgot to take my pill in the morning as I normally would and took it tuesday nite before I went to bed and did not have intercourse tuesday. But yesterday I had intercourse for the first time without a condom and my boyfriend "pulled out" before ejaculating, but I realized this morning id forgotten to take my pill yesterday and took it this morning. I am really scared that I should be worried about this, can anyone calm my fears some?
Thanks,
jen

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I mean there is "always" a possibility but in your situation it would seem to be rare.

You've got to remember that pill though. Some months I do great and then some months it seems like I just can't remember to take it at the right time. At least you didn't miss it all together- you still took it.
