No BC is 100%, pregnancy can occur even when taken correctly.
Since you missed a pill you should use a condom or find another BC alternative.

If you miss even one and have unprotected sex you risk getting pregnant as soon as the medication in your system weakens. The med level has to be maintained at a fairly precise level to be satisfactorily effective
