Brief Answer:
Might cause a problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Well,missing it by one day wont cause any major problems.
But you have taken it every alternate day, instead of daily,so it is possible that the action might not be optimum.
Ovulation is generally expected on day 14 of your menstrual cycle.
You have to start getting follicular monitoring ( scanning of uterus and ovaries ) done from day 9 onwards to track growth of egg follicle and to see that it ruptures.
All the best
