QuestionIf I have had breakthrough bleeding (6-7 days starting the last day of the second week on active pills and going through the last day of the third week on active pills), due to missing a pill (in first week) and making up for it, is there a chance I could be pregnant? Despite not having sex for 5 days following missing my pill and not being ejaculated into at all, how likely is it?
AnswerIt is common to have breakthrough bleeding for a few days after missing a pill. Just continue taking the pill. As long as you made up for it, you are still protected completely. If you miss a pill, take two the next day. If you miss two pills, take two the next day and two the following day. If you miss three pill, throw the pack away, wait until the next Sunday, and start a new pack. I really doubt that you are pregnant. Of course, if you miss your period, wait seven days and take a pregnancy test. Start you new pack at the correct time.
