Q: Missed Pill - Mycrogynan30

Missed one pill. I've been on this form of contraception for the past four years. I regularly take my pill continiously for months on end without a break and I haven't had a break for the past few months. But I missed a pill, is there really a risk I could become pregnant from unprotected sex after missing just one little one? I took it 24hours later than I should of. It is recommended that I use another form of protection for the next 7 days, but me and my hubby go away tomorrow for a week. Will I really need to induldge in condoms? :(

I don't think missing one would do any harm. I was on the exact form of pill a couple of years ago and I remember the nurse telling me that if I miss a pill I should take it within the next 24 hours and if I don't, I should leave the rest of the pack and use condoms for the rest of the month until my period. However I became pregnant while taking them, so it would be best to use condoms as no form of contraception is 100% accurate anyway
