Serious Birth Control Question?!


Question: I've been on birth control for about 5-6 months, consecutively.

Recently, I went four days between birth control packs (without any kind of protection, but I did NOT have sex within that time span). However, I did take a pill on Wednesday night and had unprotected sex on Thursday night. Could I be pregnant?

There is a possibility because it takes about a week for the pills to work through your system continuously. One pill after a week may not work. You may want to go to the pharmacy and pick up the Plan B pill because they are now available over the counter without a prescription if you do not want an unplanned pregnancy.

yes, it is possible

Yes - if you miss 1 pill from your packet you have to use additional protection (i.e.condom) for at least 7 days after this

you should be fine just get a pregnancy test

yes. you could.

Odds are you are fine, but definitely be more careful next time. You should give yourself at least a week of being regular with your pill before having unprotected sex.

theres a very small chance that you were protected. each time u miss a pill the chance of being protected decreases.

yes because u need to take the pill for a week for it to be effective so there could be a possibility.

No you will be fine, if you start to get worried wait a little while and take a home preg. test, or wait till you are suppose to start your period

Taking birth control correctly you have a 1% chance of getting pregnant so everytime you miss a pill that rate goes up. Yes you could get pregnant.

Yes, it is possible. You should never have time between packs!!!!! Take a test if you don't start.

I know this might scare you, but that is almost exactly how I got pregnant (on the pill.)
Being that you've only been on the pill 5-6 months I think your chances are greater....
BUT you are probably not pregnant. Do NOT stress yourself over it, because you will start to think that every single cramp you have and pain you feel is you being pregnant. You could also start thinking that your stomach is getting bigger. (I have been there!)
Just don't let your imagination get out of control....and wait until you're due for your period. If you are late, take a test.

Good luck!!!

yes you could. it isn't that likely...but it is very possible. You should be taking the pill for a while before you have unprotected sex. every time you skip or wait it drops thhe % it works down a little. Its possible.

posibilty- was it 4 missed as well as the 7 or is it 5 sugar pills..
The pill tricks your body into a kinda of stasis where it thinks its pregnant.. so when you take away those hormones its possible for an egg to be released right after those 7 sugar pills, ( a doctor told me this anyway)

you might but then again you might be lucky enough to have some of the pill hormones still left in your system
