Should I Be Really Worried About This?

Worried???

Hey guys--
i need your help. I have been on yasmin for over two years now and have always been religious about taking the pills. Just a few days ago, I realized I completely forgot to take one of the pills, and so took it as soon as I remembered, which was about 20 hours after I should have taken it. My boyfriend and I had sex the day before I missed the pill.
I'm just wondering if this increases my odds of pregnancy, and if so, by how much. I'm beginning to really freak myself out. I'm about a week and a half out from my period. Any help at all would be great.
Thanks,
j.

You should be okay because you did take it as soon as you remembered, which is good!! If you only miss one pill you don't need to use another form of bc. If you had missed three or more then i'd say you may have a problem. Don't worry!!
