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 recently missed 1 pill (accidentally taking a placebo pill in its place) later in the first week of my pack. I only noticed the week after I had made a huge mistake and took both pills (for that day and the missed day). Within the week, I took all the other combination pills as usual and haven't missed any since. Currently on my placebo days and don't have cramping or signs of getting my period as usual...could I get it late because I missed a 24-hour timeframe and took my next pill 48 hours after the previous one?

Hello Anonymous,

Possibly, but check with your gynecologist or pharmacist.

I wouldn't be too concerned yet. If you do not have any bleeding by the end of the placebo week, then you should contact your doctor's office.

Hello Anonymous,

Yes, you should be safe since you took the missed dose only seven hours late.

I just had my period and started my cycle of pills again but in order to account for the time change, I took them 1 hour later than I normally do. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex shortly after - what's the likelihood of me getting pregnant?

I completely missed a pill in the second week of my pack but continued regular use the day after. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex the following month about 20 days after missing my pill(the middle week being a placebo week). Am I still protected?
