Will I Conceive Despite Taking Contraceptive Pill After Having Unsafe Sex?

my period ended last Saturday but only because I doubled up on my pills (on one day I took two) so my period would go away faster.. Friday comes around and instead of taking the Saturday pill I just didn t take one at all. Had unprotected sex Friday night, he ejaculated a little bit in me, and took my Saturday pill Saturday morning. Am I in the clear?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Skipping dose of birth control pills and having unprotected intercourse always carries a risk of conceiving. Hence, it is strictly recommended to take the pill at proper time everyday without missing even a single dose.
In any case, you can be protected against pregnancy this time by taking emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse. If the time has passed beyond that, you need continue taking pills regularly and wait till you get your periods. It is advisable to use condoms and spermicidal agents in case you are indulging in intercourse till the time you get your next periods.
If there is delay in getting your periods this time, kindly take a urine pregnancy test and consult Gynecologist for evaluation and further management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
