I just started taking birth control this month. I missed 2 days of pills and had unprotected sex those 2 days i missed my pills and my bf did ejaculate inside me. I did not make up for those 2pills either. Whats my chances of conceiving?

Any time you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy. We can't give you odds, but it is possible that you can become pregnant that way.
We get a lot of discussion on this. Reading it may help you: https://www.empowher.com/condition/menstrual-cycle/community.
Good luck.

I have missed 2 birth control pill, and had unprotected sex on my ovulation days. I have only been on the pill for 1 and half months. It's not time for my period, but I've been having a lot of symptoms, like nausea and things. Could I be pregnant?

Skeeter,
There is a chance for pregnancy whenever you miss pills.
I am not sure when you had unprotected sex, when you missed your pills, or when you are expecting your next "period". Also, did you make-up your missed pills as directed?

I did make-up my pills and I missed them on the 7th and 8th(my second into third week of pills). Also, I think I missed one sometime in late June like the 30th(my first week of pills) but I don't remember when exactly. My period is due next week around the 19th and I had unprotected sex just about 1st through the 6th about everyday or every other day and 2 more times the week of the 12th. Does that give you a little more info to work with? I'm really nervous that I might be.

Alison:
July 12, 2010 - 5:47pmThank you for your help. So i think i have started my period but it is Brown with hardly any red. I have never experienced this. Is it normal? could it be because of missing the 2 days of birth control?
Thank you so much
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
Yes, this is normal. Periods can change in color (red, pink, brown), amount of flow, duration, etc, for many different reasons...including missing pills.
Glad I could help!

I may miss 2 or 3 days but i am currently on my period and i usually have my period until weds or thurs. if i miss 3 do i take 3 in one day or 2 and then 2? i will not have sex until i am back on track. I take mine everyday and dont miss doses. What do I do?
