A member asked:
Missed 2 birth control week 2 and had unprotected sex 5 days later - now breakthrough bleeding 3 days before pack ends - actual risk of pregnancy. ?

Yes: Any time you miss pills there is a risk of pregnancy so it is a good idea to use condoms until you have started the next pack of pills. The risk is higher the earlier in the pack you miss the pills. The bleeding is likely to be because you missed the pills. My patients find an alarm in their phone helps them remember their pills.Tiknow for sure, check a pregnancy test next week and repeat it if -
