A member asked:
Could i be pregnant? i tarted a new bc pack a week after my last active bc pill ignoring to take the placebo pills, and i missed my period
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. Maybe not.: Any fertile woman having sex with a fertile man can become pregnant, but one who takes birth control pills correctly will seldom get pregnant. By skipping the placebo pills, a woman avoids the withdrawal bleeding. That is the reason women skip the placebo pills. Some women do that in order to have fewer withdrawal periods per year, such as 4-6 periods per year.
