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. I am taking reclipsen and I took 1 active pill on Sunday in week 3 forgot to take Monday's pill, but had unprotected sex that night, Tuesday came around and had sex with my boyfriend again but didn't take a Tuesday pill either. It is now Wednesday Feb 4,2014. I feel so dumb and scatter brain and don't know what to do. Is there a chance I can become pregnant?

Hi.

I'm on Levlin, and I missed a pill on Sunday night, and I didn't realise until I went to take my Monday night pill (24 hours later). My partner and I had sex between that 24 hour time frame, and didn't use a condom for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes he put one on so he didn't conpletely ehaculate inside me. I took a double dose of the pill straight after we had sex (because it was time I take it).

Could I be pregnant? I'm freaking out.

Hi, so I had unprotexted sex Jan 15 and that was exactly one week after starting a new pack so I had taken 7 pills in a row, I forgot to take my pill that night and did not realize until the next evening (11:30pm) which is when I usually take my pills, i took two to make up for the missed one. Then Jan 19 i took plan B. My period should be Feb 1. I know i can wait two days and then find out. I just want to know what to expect. Is there a chance I'm pregnant?

I took my pills regular every day during the month. I had unprotected sex and the next day realized i forgot to take the pill that morning so I doubled up the next day. I should have gotten my period this week but still have not. Should I be worried that I got pregnant?

I missed my pill Monday and so I took 2 on Tuesday. Do my boyfriend and I need to use backup even if he pulls out on Saturday? This is my 3rd week and my placebos will start next Monday.

I have been on birth control for almost a year and have never missed a pill. I am very sexually active and this month on one of my most technically "fertile days" I was late with The pills by a couple hours (5 hours max) and I had sex and he finished inside. Could I be pregnant? My period has never been late and I was expected yesterday.. Should I be worried? I'm on my 3rd reminder pill.
Another question, thoughout the year, the days of my starting point kept changing. When I first started birth control I would start my period on a Friday, and then one day it changed to thursday and now after a couple months im at wednesday.. Is this normal?? Will my cycle continue to move forward?

I forgot two pills and when I realized it, I had to take 3 pills! I usually have my period on Monday but this time was on Tuesday and it wasn't the normal bleed. Is this because I had 3 pills?

Hello! I missed my second to last pill on my last week of active pills on a friday (the 3rd row) I completely didnt realize it until around 10pm on saturday(the time I always take it) and me and my husband had sex arlund 4pm without protection. I immediately doubled up at 10 though when I realized that I skipped it. Should I take plan B? Or should I just not worry about it? Oh and I should add around monday morning I got my usual period start symptoms and tuesday had the period now today (wednesday) I bled as well. Should I still take it just to be safe?
