Welcome to EmpowHER. When you forget to take a birth control pill, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary and the chances of getting pregnant. However, if you forget to take any of the last 7 out of the 28 day pills you will not raise your chance of pregnancy since these pills contain only inactive ingredients.
