A member asked:
What are chances of being pregnant if i had unprotected sex 5 days before my period came and i was taking birth control and missed my 21st pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: You are on birth control so the chances are very low. Missing pills decreases the effectiveness of the pill. You can check a pregnancy test if concerned. If you frequently forget pills then consider a different method of birth control.
