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?

Is there a high chance I miss taking it the 3 rd day and will the birth control terminate a pregnancy if I'm going to get pregnant

Hi,

I missed yesterday's pill that I usually take in the morning. Last night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex but he didn't finish or anything. I woke up this morning and took my normal pill (2 hours later than I normally do) and also took the one I missed. I missed the pill on the last day of the first week of my pack. What are the odds I get pregnant?

I am on my last week of active pills (third week of the four) and take them Monday - Sunday, Monday being my first day of the week. I have been consistently on my birth control for almost two years now and haven't ever missed a pill prior to this. On Thursday I took my birth control pill and had unprotected sex that night. The next day, on Friday, I forgot to take my pill. Saturday I took two pills to make up for forgetting on Friday, and I still have one more pill on Sunday before I start my inactive pills. Should I be concerned?

Hello, I had unprotected sex , but I took my pill at night (like I always have done for months). The next day, I took my pill, but had some bad food and I threw up 10 minutes after taking my Pill. The day after I threw up (around 13 hours after I threw up), I realized I probably threw up my BC, so I took another pill, and took my regularly scheduled pill that day too. Is there an increased risk that I will get pregnant now because I threw up my pill 24 hours after having unprotected sex? Please Help! Thank you!!
