Almost certainly: The thinking is that you'll need to miss about 2 or even 3 pills before you lose protection. Normally you would have taken it saturday evening, but forgot to take until the next morning. Then i assume you took the sunday evening pill as normal. If this is so, there is a very low chance that you could be pregnant.
