Is it possible?

Question

If i have sex on the 19th day of my pack of pills of 21 and miss a pill around the 13th and again on the night i had sex what are the chances that i may be pregnant? The pill is microgynon 30

This has actually happened, its just the way I have phrased it, maybe its the wrong english, i never was great at my own language at school.

Answer 1

yes it is possible to become pregnant by missing a pill

Answer 2

If you are still within 72 hours of the first time you had sex, after missing the pill, then take the morning after pill. If not, you used to be able to get a coil fitted up to a week after, but not sure if they still do this, this would help to prevent a pregnancy. I suggest you take a trip to your local family planning centre or doctor and discuss your options. You might want to consider having one of the contraceptive injections in the future if you aren't that great at remembering to take your pill, the added bonus to these is that you don't get a period. Hooray! Best of luck, hope things turn out ok for you!

Answer 3

You need to go and get the morning after pill and start all over again. There is a large risk you could become pregnant. Try taking the pill at the same time everyday, i have been taking it for 15 years and it's the first thing i do when i wake up. Good luck, i hope you are okay. :)

Answer 4

Perfect use of the pill is 99% effective and that leaves you with a 1% chance of pregnancy.

Typical use (what you have acheived) ranges from 92% to 96% effective meaning you have up to an 8% chance of getting pregnant. It's even greater if you completely skipped those pills instead of taking them as soon as you remembered like you're supposed to do. Wait until your placebo week. If you do not get your period as normal, take a pregnancy test or schedule an appointment with your doctor.

In the future, I suggest setting a cell phone or watch alarm to remind you to take the pill or looking into forms of hormonal birth control like the ortho evra (the patch) the nuva ring or depo provera (the shot) These forms of hormonal birth control may be easier to remember since it's once a week, once a month or once every three months that you must remember.

Answer 5

Yes it's possible, especially if that's a low dose pill. In future if you miss a pill you should use an alternative method of contraception for at least seven days to avoid pregnancy.

Answer 6

Your question says "If i have sex.." suggesting your are planning this...
Are you trying to trick your partner into making you pregnant?
If not then why not come off your pill all together?
If you are then tread very carefully or you may end up with one seriously hurt partner or without one at all if he ever finds out you tricked him..

Answer 7

hay ya. well you should have been told by your doctor that the pill isn't 100%. i took the pill everyday for 5 years and still concieved my daughter!! if you dont want to be pregnant id get to the pharmacy pretty quick!!

Answer 8

Sounds to me like you tried deliberately to get pregnant, you knew exactly what you were doing but trying to cover the trickery up by acting all concerned. Will you be showing this mail to your tricked partner and saying "look i even asked people on the internet so i can't have done it on purpose???"

Answer 9

Morning after pill for you young lady. Pray you are on time.

Answer 10

Missing one pill can cause your body to ovulate, therefore, you could get pregnant. I conceived two of my children this way.
