QuestionSo my follow up question is this. Are you saying that I am at high risk of getting pregnant now? I mean it is only once in a blue moon that I forget to take my pill in the morning. I'm scared, I know that getting pregnant is a big thing. I also know that my boyfriend would not leave me if I did get pregnant. We are engaged, I guess I should have told you that in the first email. He wants kids more then anything but he knows it is too soon. I just want to know if I'm going to be okay. Should I be worrying right now?

My question to you is this. I have been on Mircette 28 for 2 months and my boyfriend and I have been together for 1 year and have never used protection. I just recently got on the pill to give me a double reassurance that I wouldn't get pregnant. Well I should be getting my period either today or tomorrow. My boyfriend does in fact ejaculate in me. He didn't start doing this until I was on the pill for a full month. Am I in the clear or should I start worrying? I take my pill everyday. Sometimes every morning and sometimes in the afternoon/evening. Please tell me I should be okay. I alos want to say I agree with you in being Pro-life. Morninga after pills are wrong, but I don't think birth control is a bad idea. Thank you so much for your time!

Answer -
I'm glad you agree with me about the Pro-Life but the contraception part is very important, too. Boyfriends are not permanent, and having sex when you are not in a permanent relationship is very risky. What will you do if you get pregnant?
Maybe you wouldn't abort the baby but many women do and that is why contraception is wrong: it leads many women to thinking they are safe when they are not and then when they get pregnant, they do the next thing which is get an abortion.
However, babies that are born into unstable families (boyfriends instead of husbands) don't have the best situation, nor does the single mother. You have to think all these things through for both of your sakes.
Not taking your pill every single day at exactly the same time every day is not a good idea. It certainly does make it more likely that you will get pregnant.
AnswerYes, of course you should worry. There is no such thing as birth control that is 100%. The pill gives you a false sense of security. I don't know if you are taking your pills safely. You can make all the excuses you want but that doesn't effect what is going on inside you with your natural hormones, the chemical hormones and your own fertility. You will have to wait and then if your period doesn't start you will have to get a pregnancy test to know for sure.
Boyfriends and/or fiances are still not husbands. Babies need mothers with husbands. It's much safer for them and for you.
