Is Pregnancy Possible After Unprotected Intercourse While On Birth Control Pills?
Hi, I have been on the pill for about 7 months now. I always used a condom but during the placebo pill week and after I was done with my period (I was not bleeding anymore) I had sex with my boyfriend. He did not ejaculate inside me. Is there still a risk of pregnancy? Also, during this past month I missed the pill once. Thank you for your help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Even with regular combined oral contraceptive pill use there is 6% failure rate. You missed one of your pill, so actually it should be immediately taken as soon as you remember followed by the next dose at its usual time. As ejaculation didn't take place the chance of pregnancy is less.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Madhuri
