No birth control is 100% effective, even when taken properly. That being said, don't panic, as the chances are very small (1 in 1000 over the course of a year). If you have been sexually active in the last month, take a home pregnancy test just to be sure, but skipping one period is not the end of the world. Your hormones might just be funky this month.Doctors recommend that you contact them after missing 3 periods, if you know you are not pregnant.
