I had sex with out a condom. I am on birth control for the 4th month but, I forgot to take the pill the day I did it. I took the pill as soon as I remembered but it was the last pill of my first week and I have a female chart that said the day I had sexual intercourse was during high fertility and 2 days before ovulation.

Hi,
You are not at increased risk for pregnancy. Missing one pill, and taking it as soon as you remembered (the next day) does not decrease the pill's effectiveness.

By the way...the fertility chart does not apply to women using oral contraceptives, as the pill works to prevent ovulation (in other words: women using the pill do not ovulate when it is taken every day).
