Okay... so you stopped taking the pill after you had sex?? How long ago was this??
If this it has been more than a few days since you last took your pill, then there may be a chance that you are pregnant. The only thing you can do at this point is go to your doctor and have blood work done to determine if you are. If you missed just one day, you can take that pill along with today's pill. Just remember the most important part of taking the pill is consistency! You have to take the pill at the same time every day! If you have been taking the pill faithfully in the days prior to the day you had sex, and you only missed 1 day, then i think you should be alright.
A suggestion to you for the future, ask your doctor about NuvaRing. You put this ring in for 3wks and you dont have to worry about taking or forgetting to take the pill... Just a suggestion~ Hope this helps, Best of luck...

BABYS BABYS its to late, no just kidding I have three kids I love them with all of my heart to say were accidents is wrong the timing was all wrong, at this point in my life I wish it was now that I started rather than starting at 18 and having another ironicall every two years apart, they are january, january and march, my first was from a boken condom, the second from the morning after pill, and my youngest the patch it had problems when they first came around. Birth control for at least for me didnt work but I wouldnt change any of it, but it should not be a prouble but I would call and goin to your doctor for the morning after pill just to be safe and no..... you know for a few days but your doctor goto them they know best and will help. Or unknowing will eat away at you I think thats problemly while things happened to me the way they did, but then again by now it would have been to late for babies, I have coworkers thaat were on the pill for 3-7 years and now that they are off and want to cant have children, its really sad one has been trying for 7 years, another 11 adopted two then after3 misscarages finally out of the finally had there third child, If I knew then what I know now, absenence is bestbut not easy call your doctor

yes. the purpose of birth control is to give your body hormones that say "don't ovulate" so if you have forgotten to take them or are late then your body doesn't have that signal not to ovulate. so you could have ovulated. if it has been less than 72 hours since you had sex you can take plan b. the morning after pill. the longer you waite though the less chance you have of it working. remember that. if you have questions visit their website www.go2planb.com . also if you have forgot this many pills remember to use a backup method of contraceptives for the next week just to be on the safe side.

Well, it depends on if you took it before you got pregnant on a regular basis. But if you continue not to take it the right way, and have sex, you will get pregnant. Trust me I did. And I had been on the pill for a long time. I didn't even miss any pills. I just doubled up a few times.

That all depends on when you had sex and when you normally take your pill. If you havent missed it for the day just take it now and your fine. If you missed it for the day take it now and take your next pill at your normal time. It isnt very likely you will get pregnant more likely but its still very small. I have forgot one (not very often) and nothing happened. Not to say it wouldnt so take your pills the correct way and you wont have to worry

If you forget your pill, yes, you have a higher chance of getting pregnant.
Keep on taking your pills or else forget about having sex.
It sounds like you're too young to be having it anyway.

Of course.
Even taking them as prescribed you risk the chance of pregnancy as nothing is 100%!
