Hi

I've been using Minesse (birth control) but then stopped for 3 months, last Tuesday (2 March) when i got my period i started using it again, but the weekend i was very ill and didn't take it for 2 days, started taking it again on Sunday/Monday (can't remember), but last night i had unprotected sex (6days later), what's my chances of getting pregnant? Will the pill be effective??? And do you think i should get "the morning after pill" or not? Am kind off worried....

Thanks
M

Yes there is a very good possibility that you are pregnant. the pill is only effective when taken at the same time every day for at least 30 days. You should get the morning after pill the sooner the better.
