A member asked:

Took my oral birth control consistently for 2 months after switching from nexplanonthird month i missed pills and the full week of pills prior to the sugar pills. had sex, condom broke, used pull out method. took plan b. now have watery dc? pregnant?

"Missing active pills and the full week" prior to the sugar pills will potentially allow spontaneous ovulation and the possibility of pregnancy. "Plan B" is not 100% protective as a contraceptive measure. Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Possibly. Any missed pills allows for your body's hormones to recalibrate and allows ovulation to occur. Plan B may help if taken within 24 hours because it contains high levels of hormones that prevents ovulation and disrupts implantation of the fertilized embryo. Take a pregnancy test which can be positive as early as the first day of your missed period.
