Is Pregnancy Possible If Birth Control Pill Is Missed While Sexually Active?
I had unprotected sex Tuesday night but he pulled out, and I took my birth control pill that night at 8pm. I take my pill every night at 8pm. Today, Friday, I just realized I have not taken my birth control pill since Tuesday night. I skipped Wednesday and Thursday, so I took Wednesday s pill, Thursday s pill and today s pill all at once a while ago. Is there a chance I could get pregnant? My period ended on Sunday-Monday and I had unprotected sex Tuesday and he pulled out then I missed those pills. Please help! I am so concerned about this! I have never done this! My body also started spotting because of the missed pills!

Hello dear
Understand your concern
According to your history, your period will ends on sunday-monday and you did unprotected sex on tuesday so it is your safe period of cycle because ovum does not released during that time.
So chance of pregnancy is less.
But in the view of OCP, as you missed two tablet that will decrease the efficiency of contraception. So I advice you to use barrier contraception like condoms next seven days and take your remaining pill regularly at same time every day (put reminder in the mobile). So chance of pregnancy is less a you did sex just after getting period.
If you want to protected from pregnancy then follow above advice.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
