A member asked:
I missed 3 birth control pills (portia) during the first week of new pack and had unprotected sex. should i be worried or just continue taking pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Continue taking your pills as prescribed AND use a "backup" form of contraception the rest of this cycle. If no period at the end of this cycle, run a pregnancy test. Usually the risk of pregnancy is low at the beginning of the cycle for pregnancy, but not zero.
