I'm taking up Diane 35 and I missed 1 pill in week 1 (5th day) but took it right away at same time as the next pill. My problem is that I had sex the night I missed the pill. What are the possibilities of getting pregnant?

I have just been back to using Diane 35 after maybe 2 years without taking it. I recently just finished my first cycle after taking my first set of pills. On the second day of my period (also supposedly my first day to start a new set of Diane 35), i had sex and also missed taking the first pill. For my second pill i took it about 12 hours late. Is there a possibility to get pregnant? I have PCOS, by the way.

Hi Anon,

Can you be a little more specific-- when did you have sex with your boyfriend? Did you use a back-up method, such as a condom? If you had unprotected sex then there is a chance of pregnancy but you should still continue taking your pills as scheduled. If your next period is late, please take a pregnancy test.

Best Wishes,

Rosa

Hi Anon,

Thanks for replying. Having unprotected sex on the 5th day of missing your pills can result in pregnancy. Continue taking your pack of birth control pills and take a pregnancy test if your period is late or missed.

Hi. I missed 1 pill in week 1 (5th day) but took it right away at same time as the next pill. I'm taking Diane 35. My problem is that I had sex the night I missed the pill. I have been taking Diane 35 consistently and correctly for 1 1/2 years now and it is the only time that I missed a pill. What are the possibilities of getting pregnant?

Hi,
You can read your prescription pamphlet for reassurance, as it does tell you that missing one pill (and taking it as soon as you remember) does not increase your risk for pregnancy.
