Missing one pill in a pack does not (typically) decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pill; be sure to read the patient information brochure to make sure this applies to your specific prescription.
Please know that women who use birth control pills do not ovulate; that is one of the ways that birth control pills work (to suppress/prevent ovulation).
It sounds like you took your missed pill as soon as you remembered, then continued taking the pills as directed. You should have no increased risk of pregnancy.
