Diane 35 Missed Pill & Unprotected Sex: Pregnancy Risk?


Question
I missed one pill on the last day of week 2 of my birth control pack - Diane 35.  I usually take my pills at midnight.  The next day after the missed, at 10pm (22 hours later) I had unprotected intercourse.  Then at midnight I realized I had missed yesterday's pill and so took 2 pills right then (the day before's and that day's).  Is there a chance that the unprotected sex in the interim could get me pregnant?  I am planning to use condoms now for the next week, but I'm a bit paranoid that I messed up before even realizing I had missed a pill.
Thank you for any help on what to do.  

Answer
For most pills, when you miss one dose you should take it as soon as possible and go right back to your regular schedule. You did this.

Anyone on the pill needs to read the paper insert that comes with the pill and tells what to do when you miss a dose.
