Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. In the current scenario, your chances of failure are very remote since you have been on oral contraception almost continuously. However, if you have taken a long break before you started the fresh course of pills, you need additional protection in this cycle. Then you have to consume the emergency contraceptive pill. Please remember that you may experience withdrawal bleeding subsequently as the emergency contraceptive pill contains high dose of progesterone. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.
