A member asked:
I havent taken my birth control for about a month going on to 2 months now . i had unprotected sex but took one of my birth control pills 3 days after. is it possible i could still get pregnant even though i took one of the tri-sprintec?

The basic effect of the pill is to keep a hormone level high enough in you blood that you do not release eggs. No egg release=no pregnancy. Just taking a few pills like you describe after weeks off them is not likely to stop random egg release. You may or may not get pregnant but what you did is unlikely to change the risk. Assume you were not protected at all and deal with it.
