A member asked:

On bc and he didn't finish in me. i maybe "missed" 1 pill due to stomach bug. should i consider possibility of preg? had neg test 5 weeks after sex.

Sounds safe: Missing one pill will not decrease the pill's effectiveness. By 5 weeks a pregnancy test would be definitive - if negative you are not pregnant and will not be pregnant from the sexual relations 5 weeks ago.
