Hello dear
Understand your concern
If you had took the pills regularly without the missing before the sexual intercourse then chance of pregnancy is nil.
You had missed only one pill on the sex day and take two tablet on next day.As you took the missing pill on the next day with same day pill, it does not affect the contraceptive efficacy.
Failure rate is around 1-2 percent. As your period is delayed by 7 days then you have to confirm the pregnancy by pregnancy test and or blood HCG.
If you will pregnant then still you can terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by using abortion pill under the advice of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
