Can Missing One Dose Of Birth Control Pills Lead To Pregnancy?
I am trying to figure out the possibility of me being pregnant. I am usually very good with taking my pill everyday but monday, the night before my blank week, I missed my pill. The Friday before that monday I had unprotected sex. I am very worried and wondering where I stand right now
Hello dear Understand your concern If one pill is missed then it should be taken as early as possible or on next day two tablet should be taken together (in your case along with gray/iron + folic acid tablet). If you had taken then no chance of pregnancy. But if you did not take missed period on next day then chance of pregnancy will be there. I advice you to take remaining tablet and wait for period to come. If period will delay by 8-10 days from normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy. To prevent the pregnancy, OCP should be taken regularly.(make habit to take regularly on same time, put reminder in the mobile so you will not miss in future) Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
