Birth control only has a 99.8% effective rate if taken properly.
That means taking the pill the same time every day and not only taking it when having sex.
Saying if you were taking the pill correctly and missed a day then already you have a chance of becoming pregnant because you missed a day out of the pills and that lessens your chance of keeping yourself safe from becoming pregnant.
What you are needing is the morning after pill. This is what you take after having sex to keep the sperm from reaching the egg. This can be reached from your OB or health dept. This sounds like what you are needing.
But I would recommend starting to take the birth control pill on a regular bases to keep yourself 99.8% protected rather than not at all because the pill is not in your system long enough to make a difference. And if a pill is hard to remember to take there is always the patch or the depo shot.

in case to procure your era and have not had sex considering the fact that, then you certainly are literally not pregnant. basically be more effective careful next time. once you're extremely frightened about starting to be pregnant, use a back up birth control technique, such as a condom, for something of the month because you've been late taking your first pill. undergo in innovations, the pill isn't one hundred% valuable even at the same time as taken completely. So taking a pill late can make it a lot less valuable.

That depends birth control does not guarantee not getting pregnant especially if you just started them, before or after has nothing to do with how they work if taken correctly and it's an actual birth control pill. If only taking after sex then it's a good chance that you are. Take a test it only cost a $1 and works just as good as any other test.

If you take a birth control pill only after you have sex then they won't work. If you take them every night at the same time regardless if you have sex or not then they should be working. as long as you haven't been on any antibiotics. they cancel the pill out. Lots of people forget that.

It doesn't matter if you take birth control pills before or after sex. You have to take them daily at the same time for them to have the full effectiveness.

Emergency Contraception pills are supposed to be taken AFTER sex, NOT birth control pills. What are you doing wasting your money on birth control when you don't even know how to use it properly?
Go to the doctor!

I agree with Amy on this.I got pregnant with my second child on the pill b/c my o.b. didn't bother to give me pamphlets or tell me that antibiotics cancel the pill out.This is very true.You have to take the pill EVERYDAY and its important to take the pill at the same time every day!!Just taking it after sex is not going to prevent pregnancy.

get informed...birth control pills are not like asprin. You can't just take one and expect it to work. They have to be taken in daily to control the hormone levels in your body throughout the whole cycle.
