I'm not worried but alot of people say I should be. Are they right?

Question

I am on birth control and in the second week I had missed two pills in a row (tuesday and wensday) and I had sex on one of those days (Wensday) because I didnt know I missed those pills. Some of my friends are worried and say that I should be too. But I dont think I am. So, should I be worried?

Answer 1

no i always used to miss 2 - 3 days of pills if i missed two i would just take two to make up for it then carry on as normal
if i missed more than two then i would continue taking the pill's once daily until the end of the month.
I asked my gp about this and he said its fine to do this so long as i never took more than two at a time.
It never did me any harm,im pregnant now but i came off the pill to try.

Answer 2

It is possible to get pregnant that way. Some doctors even tell women that have been on the pill for a long time to take the pill for 14 days and stop and to have sex that day. Stoping your pill on the day you should ovulate makes the body ovulate and you get pregnant. It is by no means proven, but its a recomendation. So...depending on exactly when that Tues and Weds fell into your ovulation time, you could be?
Please try not to worry too much about it until you have missed your period though. There's nothing you can do about it until then anyway. Plus, stress and worry can make you late and get you even more freaked out.

Answer 3

Yes. 1st off how long have you been on the pill? It doesn’t sound like long since you didn’t realize you forgot to take your pill. Depending on what brand you are taking you need to be on the pill of 1-4 months before you can stop using another form of birth control. If you miss to pills, if you don’t take your pill consistently at the same time of day EVERYDAY, it is recommended that you still continue to use a second form of birth control. Birth control alone isn’t 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Missing your pill makes it that much less effective.

Answer 4

I don't think you should be worried at this time. Now if you miss your period that is a different question. However, you want to be careful not to get too worried about the being pregnant right now, because the body reacts the way the mind thinks. When I say this I mean if you begin to think you are pregnant or that there is a possibility then your body will act as if you are although you may not be. But don't worry at this time, just see what happens when it is time for your period to come on.

Answer 5

Its not the same as having unprotected sex all the time, but theres certainly a chance of pregnancy, whether on the pill or not.

Especially if you miss a pill or two. Its not the DAY you miss the pill, but the day after and subsequent few days that you're hormone levels fluctuate.

If your body seems strange, take a test, otherwise, just take the correct dose at the same time each day.

Answer 6

don't stress, but be worried..
i missed two days on the pill and i'm now going to have a baby in less than a week. if you're not pregnant, then take a lot more precaution in the future and make sure you take the pill every day.

Answer 7

if u had only missed on pill u still had a chance of not getting pregnant but they say for every pill u miss ur chance of getting pregnant go up. so u may want to keep a check on it and remeber to take ur pill if u don't want to get pregnant

Answer 8

How could you not know you missed those pills? You can get preggo if you were ovulating then. Wait till about 3 days or so before your next period then test.

Answer 9

Any time you miss two pills form the same cycle you shoudl use a back up method until you have finished another FUll PACK.

Answer 10
