I (stupidly) forgot to take 4 pills in a row and I got withdrawl bleeding on the 4th day and that is when i remembered that I forgot to take my pills, so I took a pill that day. I also been having a lot of sex during those days. What are the chances that I could get pregnant even though I bled? Does the bleeding prevent pregnancy in any way? it was like a period. I am a little concerned because I dont know what to expect like since i got my period mid cycle am i supposed to get it again when I usually get it or no?

Hi Anonymous,

Yes, you are a greater risk being in the second week of your pack. Be sure to use a backup method of protection such as condoms to be on the safe side.

Good luck,

Missie
