Of course. You absolutely can get pregnant from that.

The pill is only fully effective if you take it every day. That's why they tell you to take it every day, not once a week, not once a month, not any other time frame. Every day and at the same time every day.

Women can get pregnant even if they just miss a day or two of taking the pill. So sometimes it takes longer for a woman to get pregnant after coming off the pill, then other times the woman gets pregnant after just a few days.

If you do not want to get pregnant, you have to use birth control every single time.

All you can do now is see if you miss your next period and take a pregnancy test.

yes you could be pregnant! the pill needs to be takein every day and even if you miss a day some women get pregnant from ONE missed pill. if youve stopped takeing the pill, then youve stopped being protected. and if you arent protected during sex then yep...you could be preg

So are you trying to conceive then? Smile

When you get off the pill, your hormones do go a little crazy. So you might notice changes in your cycle.

Sounds like you should be able to test now! If you are negative, you can try retesting in a week.
