Is it a combined pill? Afaik it's ok to miss one without risk of pregnancy. If it's a mini pill you should take the morning after pill

Read the sheet that comes with the pill. It says what to do if you miss one. And you’re not pregnant yet if you “just” had sex.

Taking two won’t help ..

Yes, there may be some risk if you missed one. I’d personally go get the morning after pill just in case! If you don’t want a baby, better to be safe than sorry!

The instructions tell you to take the missed one even if that means taking 2 on the same day. Read the NHS links given
