Contraception: you are being very cautious and responsible. Your risk of pregnancy is less than 1% . The only the only thing that would give you a higher chance of not getting pregnant would be never having sex. Although we recommend taking your BCP at the same time, an occasional pill at a different time is more likely to cause a little breakthrough bleeding than pregnancy risk.

No: You're fine. Just continue taking as you otherwise would.

Maybe: If you haven't had sex in the last 5 days you're fine. If you have, there is a (very small) chance you could be pregnant.
