A member asked:
What's the probability of getting pregnant if a woman skips contraceptive pills for a day or two?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Low: 1 or 2 days may cause breakthrough bleeding but low probability of preg. We usually rec backup contra for 10 days if miss 2 or more.

Small risk: However, once you miss several days, the risk will increase significantly with each missed pill.
