My experience : Missed pill and condom mishap

Okay so I want to say that I did try googling but I can’t find info on this specific situation. I just started taking norethindrone last month and I forgot to take my pill on Friday night (11/11). I took it at ~1 pm yesterday (11/12) and then took my regular pill at 9 pm, the same as usual. Today, my bf and I had sex with a condom but I guess it came off towards the end and neither of us noticed. How much trouble are we in? I’m trying not to freak out but if the answer is that I’m not protected I don’t have a lot of options as I’m pretty sure I’m too heavy for any emergency contraception pill to work, and I can’t do the copper IUD again.

I do want to say that I think the pill is working because I’ve had a ton of symptoms and I didn’t get my period this week when I should’ve (took a pregnancy test earlier in the week, so I’m not worried I’m already pregnant). But the article I read in the FAQ just now has me concerned. If it’s relevant, I took the last pill in my pill pack last night and I’m filling my new prescription today. I’ve only been on it for 25 days though because I started in the middle of a week (that’s what made the most sense to my brain, I would have gotten confused if the names of the days didn’t match up). Thoughts?? Do I need to do something??? I was feeling pretty chill about it because I thought I was at least somewhat protected and I don’t think I’m ovulating but now I don’t know.
