I finished a pack of pills on Friday. I stopped for my 7 day break but on Sunday but I decided to skip my period and start the new pack. On Sunday I took the Saturday pill and the Sunday pill and thought it was fine. On Monday I forgot I skipped one and me and my boyfriend had sex. Could I be pregnant?

Hello Rhubard,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I do not think you were at risk for becoming pregnant. Though you missed a dose on Monday, you did take two pills on Sunday.
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Hormone levels are kept at a constant level by taking a daily active, hormone containing pill. When you take the inactive, placebo pills, hormone levels drop and you have what is called break through bleeding.
Hope this information is helpful.
