A member asked:

Missed a bc pill the third week into my pack, i took it 13 hours after i should have.had unprotected sex before +after cd i be preg? on bc 2 years nw

Unlikely: It is possible but unlikely. The most crucial pills in the package are the first 2 weeks. You may have some breakthru bleeding because of taking it late and you do not want to make a habit of this. Many of my patients set an alarm in their cell phone to remind them to take their pills.
