On Lutera Birth Control, Had Unprotected Sex, Have Been Late In Taking The Pill On Scheduled Time. Pregnancy Chance?
Hello, I ve been taking lutera birth control for a little over a month, I m on the 4th day of my pack. Today my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex but he did pull out still, but my alarm on my phone didn t go off and I missed my pill for today by about and hour and a half. (usually take it at 9 but took it around 10:30) what are the chances of me getting pregnant?

Hi, welcome to health care magic
Oral contraceptives are 99% effective when taken daily at approximately the same time. Though you missed the dose by about 90 minutes ,it should not have any significant impact on your contraceptive cover.
The oral contraceptive pill will protect you against pregnancy but will not protect against STI.
I hope this information is helpful to you
