A member asked:
Can you get pregnant if you miss a few of the birht control pills and take one after you have intercourse?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Missed pill: You really shouldn't be having unprotected sex if you miss more then one pill per cycle. So, yes in the situation you described you can get pregnant. Probably time to use a condom back up.

Yes, possibly: Depends on what 'a few' means, when you missed them in your cycle, type of pill, etc. Bcp are not 'make-up' dose pills. Should check home pregnancy test in 2-4 weeks...And get a better memory cue for taking the pills -or- talk to your OB about seasonale, patch, or other non-daily forms of birth control.
