Hi,
Since you have been taking birth control pills for 6 months and have missed just 1 pill, which you took the very next day. You are safe .The failure rate of combined oral contraceptive (estrogen with progesterone) is very low at 0.003%.
I am assuming that you are taking the combined pill here.
But they are very very effective and you can be sure that you are protected.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
