A member asked:
During what week of active birth control pills are you more likely to get pregnant if you miss some? week 1, 2 or 3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not how it works: Your ovaries are suppressed on pills so you don't ovulate. The ovaries are the same throughout the month. The risk of pregnancy from missing pills is the same on any day when you are on the pill. From your ovaries perspective there is not week 1, 2 or 3. There is only on the pill and off the pill.
