Missed Birth Control Pills: Pregnancy Risk & What To Do


Question
hi, Last friday i missed the first pill of the third week of my bc pills.  i took it sat morning. i then forgot to take my pill for sat and sun. i took one this morning (mon).  i had unprotected sex a few times over the weekend. Is there a chance that i could be pregnant.  thanks

Answer
Yes, because you missed pills you are vulnerable to pregnancy. If you are more than a week late on your next period, then take a pregnacy test. If you have trouble remembering to take you pills, then I suggest that you find another method of birth control.
