I am a first day starter and missed the first pill of my pack (started a day late) I take Yaz. according to the pill pack, it says missing only one in the first week requires no back up protection. At the end of that first week (The day after the last day of withdrawal bleeding) I had unprotected sex, though my partner withdrew. On Tuesday and Wednesday (the sex was on sunday) I missed my pills, and doubled up on Thursday and Friday. What are the chances of pregancy?

Hi. I been on birth control for months. One month, I started a new pill pack late. I was suppose to start on Sunday, but I didn't start until monday. On Monday I took two pills. How soon after missing a pill can you start having unprotected sex? I had in protected sex about 12 days later. There's no possibility of me being pregnant, right?

I've been on birth control for 3 years now. I finished my first week of active pills, but then didn't take them the following Sunday or Monday and I had unprotected sex Sunday night. Tuesday I took the ones I missed like the packet instructed. And now I am bleeding. What are the chances of pregnancy?

Dear Susan,
I started my new pack (last week) a day late, taking 2 pills on Monday evening at my usual time. On Saturday evening I missed my pill, and it took Sunday - 24 hrs later, again with my usual Sunday dose. I had unprotected sex with my partner Sunday evening after taking my pills. Does it make sense to get an emergency contraceptive? Plan b, etc? I don't want to take extra hormones if my necessary, however want to take it within the most effective window if I need to to protect again pregnancy.

I had unprotected sex on the Sunday night after a week of being on my period. I was supposed to take my pill that Sunday night, but I forgot until the next morning. Therefore I had sex before I took the pill and took the first pill of the pack about 12 hours late. Are the chances that I'm pregnant high?

Hello.
So I've been on birth control for over a year now. I had unprotected sex Sunday and accidentally missed my pill Sunday night which was the start of a new pack. Missed it longer than 24hrs. What are my chances and should I test?
