Is Pregnancy Possible By Having Unprotected Intercourse During The Placebo Week?
I take your average 28 day estrogen & progestin birth control pill. I was in my 3rd week when on Tuesday, I completely forgot to take my pill at my usual time, 7:30AM. That night at 9:00PM, I remembered, took the pill and took the next pill at the usual time on Wednesday. I finished out my week of pills even though I started my period on Thursday. I typically have a 6 day period even though I m on the pill. I m assuming that my period will be done by the middle of my upcoming placebo week. During the rest of my placebo week, will I be risking pregnancy if I have unprotected sex? Should I start my next pack early even though it s the middle of my placebo week that I assume I will be experiencing without a period?

Is Pregnancy Possible By Having Unprotected Intercourse During The Placebo Week?
Hi, Missing or delay in taking one tablet won t increase chances of pregnancy. If you have sex when you are on placebo, there is no chance of pregnancy. You can start your new pack of pill ones you got your periods. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Soumya, OBGYN
