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?

I missed my pill Tuesday night and had unprotected sex Wednesday. I took both Tuesday and Wednesdays pills Wednesday night. What are the chances that I am pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,

I think you should have still been protected against becoming pregnant, since you made up for the missed dose on Wednesday night.

Hi,
I forgot to take my 2nd pill in time. I took it 12,5 hours late THEN I was with my boyfriend. Then took all pills at the regular time.
Is that OK?

Hi Anonymous,

Yes. You did the right thing by making up for the missed dose as soon as you could. Keep taking the pills as you are-same time each day.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm not likely to be pregnant, am I?

Why do you thikn that? Because 12,5 hours is not that late (since it's said the limit is 12) or am I taking long enough? The fact I was with my bf after taking the late pill isn't that bad on the first week?

Hi Anonymous,

I cannot guarantee that you are not pregnant. No one can. So, that is why I replied "I don't think so".

Hey just a question. I take norgestimate 1 times every night at the same time. I realized I was out and went to pick up my next refill and the pharmacy told me I had to make an appointment. So after 7 days of being off the pill I finally got my new pack and started back on it like regular! On the 2nd day of getting my new pack of BC me and my husband had unprotected sex. I was also on my period 6 out of 7 days that I wasn't on the pills. My question is should I be worried about getting pregnant. I haven't had any symptoms or any irregularities with myself. Any input would help!!
