Is Pregnancy A Risk Factor When Skipping A Birth Control?

Risk of pregnancy is less than 1 %.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I am Dr. Aarti Abraham, OB - GYN ( Gynaecologist ) and I would be glad to assist you with your concern.
Normally, any kind of contraceptive pill, like XXXXXXX is around 99. 9 % effective in preventing pregnancy.
Even if you take all pills on time, there is less than 1 % risk of getting pregnant.
By missing one pill , that risk is not increased.
As long as you do not miss any more pills in the future, your risk of getting pregnant is less than 1 %, which is negligible.
Anyways, you cannot get pregnant by having intercourse on day 3, 4 or day 8 of your cycle - ovulation ( egg formation ) does not happen naturally on that day.
Please do not worry about a pregnancy.
You cannot get pregnant.
Just remember to take the rest of your pills on time.
All the best.
please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.
