i have been on birth control for over five
years now and am currently taking
seasonale (which i've been taking for the
last 4 years). i usually am very good
about never missing pills and taking them
on time. i recently missed 2 pills, and
then took two as soon as i remembered. i
had unprotected sex a few days later and
started my period 3 days after having
missed the pills. could i be pregnant?

hi.... well when did you remember to take
them... was it days later or the next
day.... if it was the next day you should
be just fine.. also since you have a
period... that would be a good indicator
your not pregnant..

Having a period normally means no, you're
not pregnant. As long as your period came
on the placebo week, all is fine.

If you miss two pills in the same week you
are supposed to use back up protection.
(Even if you're taking them later like
you're supposed to)
So normally you would have a chance of
being pregnant, but since you're bleeding
I wouldn't worry.
