There is a significantly higher chance of conceiving if you miss a pill in the first week after your period or the week before your period, as your body has lower hormone levels from taking placebo pills for seven days. There is always a chance of getting pregnant, even while on the pill.
But follow the doctor's instructions (or the instructions on the info leaflet that should come with your pills) and you should be fine.

There is a slight possibility of pregnancy. However, the reason for doubling up is so that you are less likely to become pregnant.
I wouldn't worry too much. I've been on the pill for over 15 years, and have missed MANY pills without ending up with even a scare. Which is not to say it can't happen and to be careless....just don't worry yourself to death over it.

You can get pregnant if you take all the pills perfectly. In real life, there are few yes/no answers. The statistical risk of pregnancy when taking the pills correctly is quite low, and it's only slightly higher with a single skip and make-up. If you can't handle any degree of uncertainty, abstinence is your only option. Adding in a second type contraception may make you feel better.

It's possible but unlikely since it was in the first week and you if you took 2 the next day. Now it would have really been bad if you missed it in the third row!!

It is a possibility. To be safe I would just use a second method of birth control this month as a precaution and then be more careful in the future.
Good luck!

theoretically you could get pregnant on the pill that chance is always there but no your chances don't go up by that much by missing one day.

You CAN, but probably not--IF you only missed one and have taken the others on schedule. Just try to be more careful.
