What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Period And Missed Pill?

Hello, I am on birth control and on may 31 i had unprotected sex. I usually take my pill around 12 and did take it that day. I had intercourse after the pill, but the next few days i did not take my pill. I just had intercourse only that day though. On june 4th i got my period. My question is, Is there still a possibility i could be pregnant?

HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Oral contraceptive pills are to be taken regularly at same time of a day, without missing a single pill.
You took the pill late than usual on the day of unprotected sex.. that would have helped.. provided you had taken pills on following days regularly.You have missed the pills for few days following the sex.
This has increased chances of conception because-
- Gap in pills induces ovulation
- Sperms can survive in female genital tract for 3 days.
* So you should wait for your normal periods & go for home pregnancy test after 8 days delay in menses
In case the test is +ve, & you are not prepared for a child,you should think of MTP.
Thanks.
Thanks.
