Is Pregnancy Possible After Missing A Dose Of Birth Control Pills?

Question about birth control. So my girlfriend and I had sex first half unprotected and second half where I finished was with a condom on. She is on Birth control and has been on it for over a year. She forgot to take the pill yesterday but took 2 at her designated pill taking time today. My question is should she take plan b? and what would be her chances of getting pregnant now that she forgot that pill?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Missing birth control pill would always puts in the risk of becoming pregnant.
However, since she has taken it along with the next dose, the chances of becoming pregnant would reduce.
In case you are not convinced, you can opt for taking emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B, within 72 hours after the intercourse.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
