Yes, it is VERY VERY possible to get pregnant if you have skipped four of your pills. At any time you miss one pill, just take it as soon as you remember. At any time you miss two pills, use a back up method and call your doctor right away.
My friend in college missed three of her pills when she went away on a ski trip... a few weeks later, she found out she was pregnant.

I got pregnant twice while taking birth control pills. I did not forget to take my pill. It didn't work for me. And I was on the strongest one available 38 years ago.

Yes, you can get pregnant. I know many women that got pregnant while on the pill. And the reason they got pregnant was because they would forget to take their pill. Good Luck.

Birtch Control is 99% effective. There is still a 1% chance you could get pregnant and by not taking it, it increases your chances of getting pregnant. I've known many girls who have gotten pregnant while on birth control. My mother had my sister while on birth control. Good Luck!!

Yes you can. If you forget it even for a day you are supposed to use extra protection for the next seven days so with four days it is risky but I don't think as risky because birth control is in your system.

No because it is still hard to get pregnant. The chances are better but doesn't mean you will get pregnant

yes you can just use extra protection. If you are not wanting children you need to be a little more responsible
