Hi TessaHelp,
Thanks for your question and for finding EmpowHER. I'm confused. When did you start taking your birth control again after missing a few weeks? Have you taken them on schedule this cycle? Where in the cycle/pack of pills did you have the sexual encounter with your boyfriend? When did your last period start? How long have you been skipping the white pills? Do you always start a new pack immediately, or do you wait the week you're supposed to between packs (skipping the week or taking the white pills is what makes you get a period).
It also may help you to understand that pills or no pills, if you have a sexual encounter and no semen comes into contact with your vagina, you can't get pregnant. It's great that you're using birth control though. If used regularly, it will prevent unwanted pregnancy 99% of the time.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
