Hi. I have a similar question. I missed two pills in my last cycle, on April 15 and 16 (which was the 2nd week in the pack). I also had unprotected sex one of these days. I took 2 pills on the 17th and 18th like the instructions said. I had a withdrawal bleed which began on April 25 and lasted through April 28. I had unprotected sex again on Saturday, April 30 and once more on Sunday May 1, after the bleeding had stopped, but resumed my new pill pack on that Sunday May 1. I guess my question is since I did double up on pills on April 17 &18 and actually waited about 14 days before having sex again, was I still protected? I had 7 days worth of pills before the withdrawal bleed, but I was wondering if I could have gotten pregnant on Apr. 30/May 1? Just wondering if those missed pills in the last cycle could have caused me to get pregnant during the sugar pills?
