Pregnancy Risk with Delayed Pill Intake: Expert Advice

Question
I started taking my pills late this time around 2 days late to be exact (I doubled up on my pills twice)... I had my period and on the 14th day after the first day of my period I had sexual intercourse with my husband ... Is there a possibility of me being pregnant?

Answer
If you started your pills two days late but doubled up on the pils and have cought up and not missed any since, you are not going to ovulate and, therefore, cannot become pregnant. The bleeding that you had on cycle day #14 is most likely "mid-cycle" bleeding and should not last as long as a regular period. It does not mean that you are pregnant. If, however, you do not get your normal period when you expect it, wait seven days and take a pregnancy test just to make sure. However, it is very unlikely that you could have conceived if you have not missed any pills.
