A member asked:

Missed 2 birth control pills and immediately took double dose. no intercourse for 1 week prior, used condoms 1 week after. could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Missed pills: Any time you forget to take a pill, you must use another form of birth control until you finish the pill pack. When you forget to take a birth control pill, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary. Using a back up method will protect you from pregnancy and STD's. Risks change based on when in the cycle pack you miss pills. If there is any doubt, check a pregnancy test.
