Am I Pregnant Answer A39241
Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum and thanks for writing

Birth control pills provide protection against pregnancy only when they are taken regularly at the same time daily. It depends for how long have you been on the pills and which week of the cycle you forgot the pill intake. If you forget the pills in a row and have unprotected contact then it is advisable to take emergency contraceptive pill for protection.

The chances of pregnancy seem to be less. Relax and wait for the next periods. If they are missed then get a Urine test done for pregnancy determination and visit a Gynaecologist for evaluation.

Take care!
