I missed one pill Thursday night, in my third week, but made it up as soon as i woke up on Friday morning. I also took my pill about 3 hours late on Saturday night, which would have been my last active pill. My boyfriend and I had sex soon after. We used a condom, but it broke. He had already went shortly before we had sex. He went inside of me not knowing the condom broke, but he barely went. What are my chances of getting pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,

No, I do not think you should take Plan B because you made up for the missed dose the next morning.

Hi, I've been on the pill for a year and a half. I missed my pill last Wednesday at 10pm but took it as soon as I woke up Sunday morning, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and I believe he came on it, but not fully inside and I just found out it was my fertility week, what are my chances of being pregnant?

Hi I'm on yasminelle pills and I didn't take a break week, on the 2nd week of my first pack I missed a pill on the 8th day but took it immediately when I realised which was the same day but 12 hours after I should have , I took the rest fine and moved onto my 2nd pack without the break, I took each of them at normal time but yesterday took one 3 hours late and then had unprotected sex, what do I do?

Hi,
I take my birth control everyday at the right time and haven't missed one, me and my boyfriend had sex Thursday night unprotected and again Friday again unprotected. What are my chances of becoming pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,

If you take your birth control pills everyday at the right time and have never missed a dose, then you are protected against becoming pregnant.

What changed on Thursday and Friday to make you think you did not have protected sex?

Hi, Its my first week taking the mini pill I started on Saturday. I had my intercourse on Wednesday and missed a pill also on Saturday(about 2 or 3 days after the intercourse). I always take my pill at 10pm(before I sleep). On that Saturday I forgot to tkae it because I left it at home and I was on my Friend's house to sleep over. On Sunday 6pm when I got home I immediately take 2 pills, the missed pill and the next scheduled pill. On the next day I take the pill the usual time Im takin' it and the also the next days without seual intercourse. Can I get pregnant?

Hi,
I was in the first week of a new pill pack and I had unprotected sex on Tuesday. I forgot to take my pill Wednesday morning, but I made it up that night, about 16 hours late. I took my pill at the normal time on Thursday, and I took my pill at the normal time and Plan B on Friday. Am I at risk for pregnancy?
