A member asked:
I had sex the day i took my first pill of my second pack of birth control pill and i was a week late to take it. is it safe? but it was withdrawal

Could be pregnant: If you started your second pack of pills a week after you should have, it's possible you were already close to ovulation. And withdrawal is not an adequate method of birth control: some sperm can still be present before withdrawal. If remembering to take your pills is a problem, you might consider another method of birth control.

Can I have unprotected sex on placebo days of pack if I don't have withdrawal bleeding w/o getting pregnet? Been taking birth control for months
I stopped taking my birth control mid pack on November 7, 2022. I had my withdrawal bleed the 4-10 and I had protected sex on the 11th. I visually saw that he pulled out and came after the fact. Nothing got inside of me. But Im still worried?
My period started on Tuesday, and I began a new pack of birth control on Sunday. I heard that if I take the pill within 5 days since the first day of my period, I'm protected immediately. Although, I missed one pill the first week. Am I still safe?
On birth control, took first pill of new pack 2 hours late, had unprotected sex a week after period started, a week before ovulation, likelihood of pregnancy? I dont want to be pregnant Im just scared.
