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 had unprotected sex Wednesday but used the pull out method as precaution. Today (Friday) as I was taking my pills I noticed I missed a day but I don't remember when I could've missed it. So I took two pills today (Friday). What are my chances of getting pregnant? I know I took my pill the night of intercourse.

Hello. My girlfriend is on birth control permanently, like she never has a period, but she forgot her pill on eithwr Wednesday or thurday night (and has never forgotten one since we've been sexually active before that) but made up for it as soon as she woke up the next day and took them as normal the rest of the week. We had unprotected sex on Saturday and we are both just really paranoid about everything. She had a bit of spotting in her undies today but that has happened before on multiple occasions. It's been 4 days and I know that plan b isn't super effective after 3 days but will still work up to 5 days and I don't know if we should get it or not. We were irresponsible and we know that, I am just really worried and can't seem to calm down

Hello Anonymous,

An emergency contraceptive is most effective if taken as soon as possible following unprotected intercourse. I would advise your girlfriend against taking it this late. She should consult her gynecologist.

Hello, I had intercourse the day before yesterday unprotected and he did ejaculate I'm me but the night of I forgot to take my pill but I took it when I found out yesterday. Now I feel nauseous. Could it be because I took two pills yesterday or possible pregnancy.

Hello,
I have been on birth control for two weeks now. I have been taking the pill everyday for two weeks, but the times have varied from 9:30 PM to 11:45 PM depending on my work and sleep scheudle. Recently my boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke. He did not ejaculate though, but we are still worried. Is my pill still working because I take it everyday even though the times vary? Thank you for your help.

i missed 2 pill (not consecutively like a monday and a wednesday) I forgot and did not double up to catch up,during the first week of my new pack of birth control. Me and my boyfriend had sex late Saturday and he did not pull out. On sunday I took Saturday's and Sunday's pill and have been taking my pills correctly ever since. IS there still a chance I could still be pregnant?

Hi, I missed my pills for 2 days but I already took the instruction on what to do if you missed two pills. I took 2 pills as soon as I remember then in the other day took two pills again on the time I'm usually taking my pills. Is there a chance that I could be pregnant bec I missed 2 pills? Thank you for the answer.

Hi Anonymous,

There should not have been a risk for pregnancy (if you had intercourse) because you made up for the missed doses as soon as possible.
