I missed one birth control pill and had unprotected sex. I've been using birth control pills for the past 8 months, and my last period began on June 3rd, 2020. I haven't had a Pap test yet but have polycystic ovaries. Is it still safe if I had unprotected sex, and does my polycystic ovaries increase or decrease the chance of getting pregnant?

What additional steps can I take to address this issue, and can I safely use Monistat vaginal cream along with the ongoing fluconazole treatment?
