Help! really worried? i missed last active pill of ortho-tri-cyclen?

Should be okay: Missing the last pill shouldn't make that big of a deal, but you don't want to miss pills. Use a condom just to be doubly certain if pregnancy is a concern.

Should be ok: but use condom as a back up measure to be safe.
