Can I get pregnant from missing one pill?

I am on low-ogestrel and I missed my 13th pill in my pack. I had unprotected sex this same night. I did not realize that I forgot to take my pill till the following night. So I went 24 hours without taking a pill. I did not double up when I realized I forgot my pill cause my pills make me very ill feeling. Could I get pregnant? I worry cause this is a low dose pill anyway and my doctor advised me that there is really no room for error with these low dose pills. Please help...



When you realize you missed your pill



I am on low-ogestrel as well. This has happened to me before and I just called up my gynocologist and asked what to do. My doctor told me to just take my missed pill and my regular daily pill together the day I remember. Also, it's a good idea to use a back up of protection for at least a week after you've missed your pill. Hope I helped.
