Depends on the medicine. Should have instructions. Some you take as soon as you remember you miss, some you wait until the next dose. Missed means you did not take it at the regular time you are supposed to take it. For Birth Control pills, take the dose as soon as you remember and the next dose at its scheduled time.

You have been on birth control for a long time This month you started taking the pill on monday and had sex yesterday you havent missed a pill so far can you be pregent?

If you haven't made any mistakes in using the pill, and if you didn't start this cycle late, then there are no special worries. If you started the pill late this cycle, then you may be at risk for pregnancy; a missed pill in the first week increases the risk that a follicle will begin to form -- that you'll ovulate. Use a back up birth control method for seven days.
