A member asked:

My birthcontrol is 0.15 progestin with 0.03 estrogen. there is the last week were its only estrogen only with 0.01. can i get pregnant off that week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can get pregnant: if you have missed pills and even while on very low dose pills: there is no guarantee that all BC pills will prevent all pregnancies. I suggest using condoms for the next 3 weeks in addition to low dose pills.
