I forgot to take one of my contraceptive pills last week and I have had sexual intercourse since.

Forgetting to take one contraceptive pill in the middle of your cycle does not put you at risk of pregnancy if you had unprotected sex within the last 5 days. You should take the missed pill as soon as you remember, continue with the rest of the pack, and not take a break from hormonal pills for this cycle. The missed day counts as the week off from hormones.
