A member asked:
Can i get pregnant if i missed 4 days (tuesday, wednesday, thursday & friday) of birth control pills and has unprotected sex wednesday and thursday?

Maybe: In general the pill prevents pregnancy by preventing egg release. If you take your active pills on time this works.If you skip several days & the body does not have the pill hormone preventing egg release, it might let one out that could lead to pregnancy. Time will tell.If you are late, get a test & test a first morning pee (more accurate).They are sometimes false negative early but seldom false

Yes you can: If you miss your birth control pills then they do not protect you. Use over the counter Plan B if intercourse was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy. Consider an alternative birth control method such as an IUD or Nexplanon that will be easier to use
