Hi! I have been on the pill for 4yrs in January. And with the same partner for 4yrs in May. I was on Ortho-Tri Cyclone for the first 2yrs, and switched (due to abormal bleeding) to Ortho Cyclone. On a side note, the current pills have just started to cause swelling while I am on my period. This has happened the last three times I have been on my period. First, I got checked and was told it was a yeast infection, but it is really possible for a yeast infection to come every period and leave after my second active pill with no treatment? (I will be going to my doctor this upcoming week for a check-up)
My main concern: I had never missed a pill until yesterday! I didn't even notice until I took my pill today (11am), so I doubled up and took my missed pill as well. Now, I was just on my period, therefore I missed day 3 of my active pills, and it just so happens that my fiance and I had sex without a condom yesterday around 12:30pm. I am concerned that my chances of pregnacy will be increased. Should I consider taking Plan B? And what are my risks for becoming pregnant in my situation?
