A member asked:

If i missed one ocp after taking 7 consecutive days, and continued the pills after that day. can i expect to get pregnant ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth control pil: Missing pills is the most common cause of pregnancy while taking birth controll pills. It can be a possibility (pregnancy)depending when you started taking the pill, if you have been taking them at the same time, your weight, if you had unprotected sex etc. If you miss your period while taking the pill get a pregnancy test.
