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,
I take the mini pill and had unprotected sex with my partner Sunday morning last week (19th) which was also day 16 of my cycle. I took my pill as normal that night at 9pm; however, I forgot it the following 2 days (Mon & Tues). I realised on Wed morning and took 1 then and carried in as normal Wed night and have not missed one since. Is there a risk that I may be pregnant?

HI Anonymous,
I am taking Progestin-only Pills. And I'm taking every night. This Sunday night, i forgot to take a pill and had unprotected sex that same night. Then, the next night (Monday night) I took 2 pills. Can I get pregnant? What should I do to not get pregnant after what happened?
Thanks.

I take the combined Microgynon pill. Started the pack Sunday, had sex friday, took pills at usual time on Friday night but missed Saturdays (Day 7 of the pack) I took both Saturdays and Sundays but that was 3hrs after the time i usually take them. Should i be worried?

Hi, I forgot to take my mini pill on Monday and then took it in the morning. Later that week on Saturday night/early hours of Sunday morning I had unprotected sex, I then took my pill Saturday night, Sunday night but forgot to take it Monday and only realised the Tuesday so took both of them then. Am I at risk?

Hello Anonymous,

When you miss one active pill, make it up as soon as possible. Back it up with added protection, like a condom, if you miss two or more pills.

Too early to est. Wait for withdrawal bleeding during the week of inactive pills. No flow, then test.

Maryann

Hi,
i'm concern about a situation which is that i forgot twice in the same week (week 2 of Yaz 8-14) to take the pill. i took them the moment i remembered. So, on day 8 i forgot and i took 2 pills on day 9. But on day 11 i missed again, so on day 12 i took 2 pills.
and i had sex on day 12. Should i go to the doctor?
