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?

Hi, I had sex on Sunday night and then went out and forgot my birth control. I took my Sunday night's dose on Monday morning and then my Monday dose at the usual time. I'm still a little worried because I had unprotected sex prior to realizing I forgot my pill. Should I get emergency contraception?

Is it fine to take or drink a dietary tea (biofit tea) while taking pills? Im drinking my dietary tea before bedtime while my pill is after lunch or 1pm. Thanks

I had sex early Sunday morning and have missed my mini pill ( cerazette) since. I've also had 2 dreams in the week of getting a positive pregnancy test. I'm so confused as I don't know what to think or what to do. Anyone any suggestions ?

I had unprotected sex then took my pill right after but missed the next two. But before I really haven't been taking my pills at the same time I'd miss a day then take it. What are my chances of getting pregnant.

Take two:
I missed my pill Friday, had unprotected sex Saturday then realized I missed Friday's pill. So I took 1 pill Saturday night, 1 Sunday morning and then back to my normal cycle Sunday night. I've had spotting but my period is due next week.

Hello Anonymous,

If you miss one or more hormonal pills, you may have some spotting or breakthrough bleeding and, more importantly, you will be at a greater risk of becoming pregnant.

The greatest risk is when you miss hormonal pills at the beginning or at the end of the cycle, because that is equivalent to prolonging the interval during which you do not take hormonal pills.

You will know that you are not pregnant once you have vaginal bleeding during your placebo pill week. Wait and see what happens next week.

Regards,
Maryann
