By missing one pill early in your cycle, the progestin and estrogen that the pill supplies to stop the ovulation process was missing for 24 hours - so, that break might be enough to get the suppressed follicle stimulating hormone going. When you had sex, there would not have been an egg waiting, but sperm can live for 5 days. If you do ovulate due to the missed pill, it will likely happen a week or so from now. If you stick to your pills on time for the rest of the month you should be fine, as even if an egg matures, staying on the pill will likely keep it from getting released... even if the egg does release, and get fertilized, the pill would likely keep it from implanting. Good luck!
