I missed one pill Thursday night, in my third week, but made it up as soon as i woke up on Friday morning. I also took my pill about 3 hours late on Saturday night, which would have been my last active pill. My boyfriend and I had sex soon after. We used a condom, but it broke. He had already went shortly before we had sex. He went inside of me not knowing the condom broke, but he barely went. What are my chances of getting pregnant?

Hello,

I was in my first week of the packet and missed fridays pill, that night my boyfriend and I had sex and he finished in me. We also had sex the next day and I took two pills on Saturday. Is there a possibility that I can be pregnant? And today is Sunday can I still take plan b, or is it too late?

Hi, I've been taking the pill for a few months and I missed the pill on the 28th, and took two pills the day after it. I had unprotected sex yesterday(December 30th) and he came inside me. Today I took my last active pill. I don't know what should I do, continue with the placebos or start a new pack. Am I protected against pregnancy?

Hi there, I was supposed to start my new pack of BC on Monday but my doctor's office was closed, and they forgot to call in a refill Tuesday as well. I finally got my birth control today (Wednesday). And took two pills and will take two pills tomorrow. I will take one pill normally every day after that. My boyfriend comes back into town on Monday, are we okay to have unprotected sex as normal?

Hello, I have been on my birth control for 2 months. i missed a pill the day after i had unprotected sex with my husband. made up for it by taking the missed pill and the new pill for that day. but as those pills were digesting about 20 minutes later i had unprotected sex with him again. did i double my chances at possibly gettig pregnant? im on my last week of pills which should be when i start but there hasnt been any sign of blood yet.

hii i've been on birth control for the past 4 months now and last night my boyfriend finished in me. it was the last day of the sugar pills and i thought my period was over but turns out it wasn't because i started bleeding in the middle of sex. two days later i forgot to take my pill at 8 but woke up at 4amand remembered to take it. 3 days later the exact same thing happened. I know sperm can live inside of you for 5 days after ejaculation so is my chance of pregnancy higher since i missed the pills but madethemup?

Hello jacklyn0518,

The concern is why did you bleed during sex and again three days after missing an active pill. Please telephone your gynecologist's office to report this.

Since you made up for the missed dose, I do not think you ovulated and were at risk for becoming pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello. I have been on the pill consistently for a year and Yesterday I had unprotected sex and my boyfriend ejaculated inside me. That night I forgot to take the pill because I was running late for work and I usually take it before work. Today when I was going to take my pill as normal scheduled, I realized that I missed yesterday's pill so I took yesterday's and today's pill. We just had sex again and he ejaculated inside me again. Is there a chance that I could get pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

You might be protected because you made up for the missed dose.

Contined...

I'm worried that the urethra contained sperm. Only because I forgot to take my pill the same night this occurred. It is the only day of this month that i've forgotten to take it. I am usually right on time, and don't forget to take it daily. Even if it did contain sperm, there was not much precum because it was the second time around, and it was only inside for about a minute before we stopped and put protection on.
