Last bc pill was last wed was supposed 2 start new pack this thurs. left pills & started 3days late. unprotected sex fri&sat, likeliness of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy test: The likelihood of pregnancy increases the more pills were missed. A cycle where several pills were missed should be considered unsafe, even if all remaining pills are being taken. Even if a menstrual period commences, it is prudent to take a home pregnancy test, before starting a new pack of pills.
