A member asked:
I missed 4 birth control pills but tried to catch up them i had breakthrough bleeding & unprotected sex, what's the possibility of me getting pregnant?

Take a test: If you missed 4 pills and had unprotected sex then pregnancy is certainly possible. Missing pills also triggers irregular menstrual bleeding. Check a pregnancy test 2 weeks after intercourse to confirm that you are not pregnant. Consider an IUD or Nexplanon so you can avoid these scares in the future.
