I have been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for about eleven months, and it's worked well. I'm a little worried now, though - this past Sunday (April 4th) I started my pack. I took my pill as scheduled the next morning (Monday) and that night I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom or barrier method (we've been monogamous for a year and got tested for STDs and everything). I took my Tuesday pill on schedule, too, but Wednesday (my fourth pill in the first week) I took it about two hours late. My question is: does missing a pill up to 48 hours AFTER intercourse put you at risk of becoming pregnant from the last time you had sex? I've read that sperm can get you pregnant up to 48 hours after sex. Also I am worried because everything I've read says missing pills during the first week of a pack is bad. Am I at high risk for pregnancy, and should I use alternate birth control in the future?
