Missed contraception

So I've managed to miss one of my contraception pills.

For a little bit of background, last week was my pill free week and I had my period as normal, I did end up having sex at the weekend whilst on my break. I started my new pack as normal on Monday, and I realised on the Friday that I had missed my Thursday pill :// Once I realised I took my Friday and Thursday pill together to catch up, and I also took emergency contraception just in case, but I'm still worried about the chance of pregnancy, have I done everything right?

any help would be appreciated, thank you

You've done all the right things, well done.

It can be very scary, but try not to fret too much. Grab a 5 quid multipack of pregnancy dip tests off Amazon so you can do one to check and put your mind at ease and then you have a few extras on hand if it isn't clear or you want to do another one a few days after. I shouldn't be worried though!

Agree - you've done right, but the risk is very minimal - try not to worry.
