Forgot Taking Birth Control Pill, Withdrawal Bleeding Lasted Only 3 Days. Chances Of Pregnancy? When Can I Get Accurate Results?

I'm on the pill but forgot to take the pill on the saturday before my 7 day break starting on the Thursday. Usually in this circumstance I would back to back packs but I totally forgot to and then my partner and I had sex without a condom 2 days later on the Saturday. I then got my withdrawal bleed on the Sunday but it only last 3 days which is unusual. I am now worried I could be pregnant.

This all happened two weeks ago so if I did a pregnancy test, would I get an accurate result?

Hi thanks for asking on HCM.

As you already had withdrawal bleeding, chances of pregnancy are very less(almost negligible). To be sure you can do pregnancy test now( better to go for serum beta HCG test, blood test) and it will clear your doubts.As it is already 2 weeks back, this test can be done now for accurate results.

Good Luck
