Q: 

Can you get pregnant from missing pills after unprotected sex?

I am a first day starter and missed the first pill of my pack (started a day late) I take Yaz. according to the pill pack, it says missing only one in the first week requires no back up protection. At the end of that first week (The day after the last day of withdrawal bleeding) I had unprotected sex, though my partner withdrew. On Tuesday and Wednesday (the sex was on sunday) I missed my pills, and doubled up on Thursday and Friday. What are the chances of pregancy?

Hi there,
I had sex for the first time last night and didn't take my pill at my normal time (10 pm) however I took it as soon as I got home (12 am). This was the seventh pill of the pack. He didn't cum inside me but I'm still worried. I plan on taking my next pill at 10 pm today.

Hi there,

I had unprotected sex while I was on vacation around midnight - and I missed my pill that evening which I usually take at 10pm. I took it at 10am as soon as I could, then proceeded to take my pill for that day at 10pm as usual. While I was away I wasn't the best at taking my pill at exactly the same time every night, but did take it within a 3 hour window (ie. 10pm-1am). Am I at risk for pregnancy?
Thank you.

Hello Anonymous,

You might be okay and have been protected since you took the pills within a 3 hour window of time. You will know for sure once you have withdrawal bleeding during the week of inactive pills.

Hello,
I had unprotected sex on Friday at around 5pm and missed my usual combined pill that night. I made up for it on Saturday (today) as soon as I realised, this was around 2pm. I had taken my pill at the usual time the night before (Thursday 10pm). I am planning on taking my pill at my usual time of 10pm tonight. This is my first week back on the pill after having seven days of inactive pills (I had my period last week). Friday was my seventh day back on the pill, therefore prior to having sex, I had only taken the pill 6 nights in a row. What are the chances of becoming pregnant due to this missed/late pill? I have been on the pill for close to three years now.
Thanks.

Hello,

I had sex on Sunday (without an extra form of birth control-- i.e. condom, etc.), and took my pill as scheduled that night at 10 PM. I forgot my pill the next evening (Monday), and took it as soon as I was home from work on Tuesday around 1 PM. I then took another pill later that evening at 10 PM, like normal. What is the likelihood of me becoming pregnant from that missed/late pill?

Hello Anonymous,

You did exactly what you were supposed to do and should be protected against pregnancy.

Thanks for the reply. Are there any chances of conceiving since both my right and left ovaries are polycystic or none at all? I've been taking the contraceptive pills for me to have my regular period
