Does Missed Birth Control Pill Lead To Pregnancy?

I missed 5 days of birth control on accident, and had unprotected sex during those 5 days in which he finished inside of me. Am I protected if I took my pills every day at the right time the week before, and will not be having sex again for another 3 weeks?

Hi

Since you have missed 5 days of birth control pills and have had sex during those 5 days, there are chances of you getting pregnant.
You are not protected even if you have taken pills regularly the week before and avoid sex for 3 weeks from now.
If you want to avoid the possibility of pregnancy consult your gynecologist and take emergency contraception ,

I hope I have answered your queries. If ou have any further concerns contact me through healthcaremagic. I will be happy to answer.
