Missed Birth Control Pills & Unprotected Sex: What To Do?

Question
I am on Ortho tri-cyclin lo (been on it 2 years) and i just recently started my new pack, i took monday's pill but i forgot tues-fri (4 pills) and had unprotected sex very early saturday morning. Later saturday evening when i started & realized i had missed so many pill i took two and took two sun. and today (mon.) to catch up. Could I still poss. be pregnant?

Answer
Hi Courtnie,

Thanks for your question. From all that I've read, I think if you miss 4 pills, it is just too much to make up. The sex on Saturday wasn't a good idea and you could be pregnant. I can't diagnose over the internet so I would recommend that you find a pregnancy resource center in your neighborhood and get a free test. Here's the link in U.S. http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you live outside of U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Hope this helps. Would you please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and tell me what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
