Is Pregnancy Possible After A Missed Birth Control Pill?

default
Posted on Wed, 2 Jul 2014
Question: Hi, I am on birth control pills: qlaira. About a month and a half ago, I took a pill (the 3rd before the 2 placebo pills) a day late. I was supposed to start the cycle all over again if I'd missed that pill, but I didn't; I just took it and the next day's pill together. I went through another full cycle of pills before having sex again. Do you think that there is any risk of pregnancy?
Thank you.
