Does a low dose birth control pill mean that there is a higher risk of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth Control Pill: If you are taking a very low dose of the pill and there may not be enough hormone to suppress your ovulation or support the endometrial lining. Therefore, missing a pill becomes more critical and makes it more likely for you to get pregnant.
