I've been on the pill for about a a couple years now. But the other day I was caught up and forgot to take my pill. The next day I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, but he pulled out before he came. Could I be get pregnant or be pregnant?

Hi Anonymous,
I have to agree with Rosa and say there is probably a minimal chance that you are pregnant. Ovulation usually occurs between 12-14 days after you start your period so it is more than likely that you were not ovulating as it is actually a very small opportunity to get pregnant.

Take our advice and just relax. I think you will be just fine.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Anon,

Remember that even if you miss two pills from your pack and take them late you are still somewhat protected-- not the 97-99.9% from the pills but there is still some protection. Try to relax and keep your mind focused on something else because until you are able to test for pregnancy, you won't know if you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy symptoms can be very similar to those of a stomach bug--let's see if they go away but lets not assume you're pregnant until you have been able to test for pregnancy and get a positive.

Keep us posted,

Rosa

but the thing that is different is i had my period and was 2 days late to start the new pack, so i had 9 days break instead of 7.. not other places say that mean i have no protection at all.. but if thats the case then would i get pregnant just after a period when you dont ovulate till the middle of the month, man its soooo confusing. advice?

I have a question...I just had my mirena taken out on Tuesday, I started my bc Tuesday. I am taking levora. I had unprotected sex lastnight, but my boyfriend pulled out. Am I still covered by the hormones from the mirena?
Thank you

Hi Anon,

It's difficult to say because it's impossible to know what kind of protection you're left with from the Mirena since it is no longer inside of you. It's much safer to not take your chances and use protection for the next two weeks until your birth control pills are fully effective.

Good Luck,

Rosa
