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 started taking birth control for the first time June 21st 2015. I missed one pill, and took a few late at the beginning. Last night I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, then this morning took my pill almost 3 hours late. Can I get pregnant? Also I am using Chateal.

Hi Susan,

At the end of my last cycle I missed my last tablet. I began the next pack one day earlier because of this. Two days ago (day 4) I forgot my pill but took it in the evening around 9. Yesterday I forgot it again and took it at around 2 in the Morning. Today (day 6) my boyfriend and I had sex but the condom broke. I took my pill today but am just wondering how much the erratic timing that I have taken my pill will effect my risk of getting pregnant?

I was in the middle of taking my pink active pills, I had missed a pill one day so I took 2 the next day. But later that night I had unprotected sex and he went in me... Could I be pregnant or would the pills work? It has been a week and a day since intercourse. Please respond asap

Hello Jeslynn111,

You did the right thing by taking 2 pills the next day. Since you did that, you were protected when you had intercourse later that evening. I do not think you were at risk to become pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Susan,

My name is Brenda and I have been taking Lo Estrogen fe since April 2015. On June 29 and 30 I missed my pills due to the pharmacy being closed , but I took the pills as indicated on the package. Now the websites says that I shouldn't have sex during the first 7 days after restarting the new pack. I did have sex the 8th day which is today 7/8/2015. I'm really worry bease my partner and I had unprotected sex and went inside me. What should I do, should I take a plan b pill what are the chances of being pregnant. I never missed a pill since April 2015 which was when I switchted from the implant to pills.

Thank you,

Brenda.

Hi Susan,
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend Friday night around 11:30pm and forget to take my pill on Saturday night. I started having cramps on Sunday around 7pm then i took one pill on Sunday around 8pm instead of 2 pills and then one on Monday. I have been on the pill for about three months and the pack finishes today what are my chances of pregnancy?

Thanks,
Manda.

Hi Susan,

Hi, My name is Yesenia..
So I had unprotected sex on 7/2 and my boyfriend finished inside of me. I forgot to take my pill that night and I realized first thing on 7/3 (Friday morning) so I took the pill I missed. Then I forgot to take Friday's pill (7/3) for some odd reason so I took it on Saturday morning. I was back on track Saturday. I have been spotting a lot, but it usually happens the week I'm supposed to get my period. I am due for my period this Sunday 7/12. Do you think I'm protected or could be pregnant?

Thank you.
