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?

Take a pregnancy test. Read and follow the directions carefully to get the most accurate results.

Like I stated above, I took 2 pregnancy tests last week and came up negative. Still unsure what's going on. Going to the GYN tomorrow because I don't know what else to do....

I've been on Lo Loestrin FE for just over a year, and consistent on taking it every day. My packs go Fri-Thur, and I get my cycle between the second Monday and Wednesday on a fresh pack.

I had condomless sex very late July 21/very early July 22. I think we used a vaginal foam or something of the sort (I didn't read the box, but it was like a tampon applicator and it "injected" something inside... still unsure what it was, I've never used it before). He pulled out before finishing, but there could always be pre-ejaculation. I also believe I missed taking my pill the day I had sex, but made up for it the next day.

My cycle was supposed to start Aug 13 or start as late as August 15 (sometimes it likes to start Mondays, sometimes Tues or Wed). It is now Aug 18 and no cycle has started.
Granted, I've been suddenly under a lot of stress this entire week with some things going on in my life, but my cycle still should've happened as the stress wouldn't affect my cycle IMMEDIATELY like that.

What are your thoughts on this? I'm very concerned. Thank you very much.

I have been consistent with taking my pills throughout the pack but I was supposed to take my pill on Friday night but forgot to and had unprotected sex that night. I made it up and took it when I got up in the morning but it was still about 12 hours late. I took 2 pills that day and that was the end of my pack. I also had unprotected sex the second day of my placebo pills. What are the chances that I could be pregnant? I'm really worried and not sure how concerned I should be. Any advice would be wonderful. Thanks!

Hello Anonymous,
Did you take your birth control pill on Sunday? If you did, then you were not unprotected when you had intercourse.
There would be a chance of pregnancy only if you did not take your birth control pill on Sunday.

i hope that I have answered your question.

I have a question please help! I forgot to take my pill last friday and I only realized it on Saturday (after 12 hours). So I just skipped the Friday's one and continued taking my pills the following day, which was Saturday. Then on Sunday, I had unprotected sex. Does it increase my chances to become pregnant?
Thank you!

Please try to relax. You correctly made up for the missed dose.
Since you took a birth control pill on Saturday, you were protected when you had sex that night, even though the condom broke.
