Does Missing Birth Control Pill While Being Sexually Active Cause Pregnancy?

I missed a birth control pill mid cycle, I use an app on my phone and did not realize until after the fact I was in the high fertility area. I was sexually active during this time period. I took the pill I missed the next morning followed by my normal pill that night. I spotted for 5 days after I missed that pill, but have not gotten my period. Should I be waiting for a normal period? I am currently taking LoEstrin 1.5/30
