Yes: Maybe not immediately, as in the next day, but if you miss your pill, then chances for unexpected pregnancy increase. That's why taking birth control pill regularly at same time daily is so important. Of course, if you're trying to conceive, then don't take pill! If you're wondering what to do b/c you missed your pills, check out http://goo.gl/ASnFuq. BTW, I assume you're referring to active pills

Yes: You could get pregnant as you are no longer protected.
