I am 25 years old, I have been taking birth control since I was 18. I skipped 3 days of pills (a weds, thurs, and friday) On Thursday we had sex and he came inside of me, on Saturday we had sex again and he pulled out. The first timd we had sex was the 24th of the month and the 2nd was the 26th of the month. The first day of my last period was the 14th of the month. I am also taking an antibiotic that lessens the effectiveness of the pill. What are the chances that I became pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Hard to say because you missed two doses, took the dose late and had intercourse. Did you make up for the two missed doses?

Hello Anonymous,

If you had intercourse after withdrawal bleeding, you should not have become pregnant.

Hello Anonymous,

Are the white pills active pills? Are the blue pills inactive pills?

If the blue pills are inactive pills, continue taking them and start the withdrawal bleeding early.

Hello Anonymous,

Start the new pack today. Discard the Sunday and Monday pills,

If you are sexually active, ask your partner to wear a condom this first week.

Hello Anonymous,

Taking four pills was too much. Call and speak with your gynecologist as to what to do next.
