A member asked:
Could i have gotten pregnant from having unprotected sex one day and then forgetting to take the next 3 birth control pills in the pack?

Absolutely : If you miss your next period, you should do a home pregnancy test. If your intention is not to get pregnant, you have to stick with birth control pills religiously, or use a different form of birth control altogether. It does not work well if you are skipping pills. Good luck.
