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 chance for getting pregnant because you made up for the missed dose the next day.

I have been on Yaz for over a year now and the first time in a long time I skipped a pill about 5 days ago (during the second week). That next day I took the pill I had forgotten which was about 24 hours late and then took my other pill the same time I always do. About 5 days after missing a pill, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. What is the chance of pregnancy?

Hello. I have been on birth control pills for 3 years now. Yesterday I took my pill and threw up about an hour later. Today I had sex and the condom broke. Could I become pregnant from this? Should I take emergency contraceptives?

Hi,
I forgot to take my pill on Friday, but I took the pill Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I had unprotected sex on Saturday night, and I never made up for the missed pill as in took 2 in one day. This happened in week 3 of my pack, I am on a combined pill. It is now Monday. Should I take any emergency contraceptive or should I take two pills today, is that still effective? I am due to start the placebo pills tomorrow, or what should have actually been today, but I didn't realize I missed the pill until I took the last one today and it ended on the wrong day.
Thank you

Hi, Susan!
I've been on Yasmin for 10 years, and last night (Wednesday), for the first time in all these years, I missed the pill (it was the 18th pill of the 21 pills). So tonight (Thursday), I took the Wednesday pill (21 hours later than I normally should have), and pretty soon I'll take the Thursday pill, at the usual hour (so, basically, 2 pills in a day). What are the chances for me to get pregnant, considering the fact that I had sex on Monday morning? Should I take the remaining pills as usual and then take the 7 days break? Or, as soon as I finish this blister, should I immediately start a new blister, with no break? What should I do?
Thank you!

When I said " a blister", I meant "a pack". I'm sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

Hello,

Ive been taking my Chateal Birth Control pills for the first time this month after my period. I take it every day steadily but not at a consistent time. I always make up for the days I miss. I sometimes miss two but always remember to take two. I had sex on Friday at 12pm but remembered I missed two days. I took my pills right after sex. If I am correct I believe I am due for my period later this month. Is there a possible chance I might be pregnant? This happened on late in my 3rd week

Hello.
I am very young so I have been stressing out lately. A couple of days ago my boyfriend and I had sex without a condom but he pulled out at the very last second so I am not sure if anything came out inside me despite what he says. I have been taking birth control for about a year and I don't always take it at the same time and I missed a pill about a month ago. I just started taking my sugar pill yesterday but I have no had any bleeding or cramps. Could I be pregnant?
