A member asked:

Could it happen such that a girl get pregnant if she misses her pill six days after intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very unlikely: The sperm wouldn't still survive after 6 days in the reproductive tract, and missing one pill isn't typically enough of a gap for your body to initiate formation of a follicle. You should be safe.
