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 was wondering.. I missed my pills on Wednesday and Thursday realized it on Friday but only took one pill that night. And I think I took a pill Saturday morning also. My boyfriend and I had sex Friday night, Saturday night and twice Sunday morning.. No protection. But I took my pill Friday Saturday Sunday.
I forgot to label my pills this month when I started so I'm not sure on dates and I feel stupid. Should I take a plan B tonight? I'm just very nervous.

Hi,

I accidentally took the wrong pill. I took week 3's Friday pill instead of week 2's Saturday.. I didn't realize this until I had to take today's (Sunday). I immediately took the missed pill but what should I do about when I get to the pill that is gone for week 3? Please help!

Hello.
So my problem is that I forgot to take my last pill on the first week (Saturday) I took the first six normally. And I did not realize I forgot it well into the second week of my pack. So I didn't make it up. I've been taking all the rest normally. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend the Tuesday after that Saturday. My pill is a low dose combination pill (minastrin 24fe). Should I be worried about pregnancy?
Please help!

Hello,

I missed 2 pills back to back on my first week of active pills. I took the first one the morning after (feb3) and then the second one the morning after as well (feb4)- so by the third day, I took two, one in the morning from the night before and one at my regular time. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex today (feb9). Is there a chance I could get pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

You did the right thing by making up for the missed doses. No, there is not a chance that you could have gotten pregnant as long as you continued to take your birth control pills.

Regards,

My girlfriend missed her birth control pill the seventh day of her pack "Sunday"and we had protected sex that night but the condom slipped off. I did not ejaculate. She took 2 pills the next morning as soon as she remembered. Is she still protected? Should I be worried?

I missed my pills on Monday and Tuesday in week 3 and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on both days. I didn't know what to do so I didn't take anymore pills thinking that would be ok and I will just start a new pack once I get my period. Anyways it's Thursday and my period is here a week early. What does that mean? Is there still a chance I can become pregnant?
