A member asked:
Will taking birthcontrol 6 hours late cause ovulation and pregnancy if my partner ejaculated inside of me 48 hours after i took it late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Have you been taking OCPs regularly? If so, and when taken correctly, OCPs are up to 99.9% effective. Missing one dose or taking 1 dose 6 hr late simply reduces the likelihood that your birth control will be effective... which does not mean you are pregnant, just that your chances of NOT getting pregnant have decreased. Take OCPs the same time every day to reach 99.9%... and take a pregnancy test.
