I forgot to take my pill on Friday and took it the next day along with Saturday's. I had unprotected sex afterwards. Is there a risk?

If you forgot to take your birth control pill one day and took two pills the next day, there may be a slight risk of pregnancy if you had unprotected sex. However, in this situation, it is recommended to continue taking the rest of the pills in your pack as scheduled and then start a new pack immediately afterward to ensure continued protection against unwanted pregnancy.
