i've been on tri-sprintec since i'd say middle of 2005 (i think it was then) periods were normal. In July of 07 i stopped taking them had my period at the end of the month to the first part of august, didnt have one at the end of august, sept, or oct. went back on the pill the week of nov. 5-9. had my period dec.4-9.. had intercourse the 8th in which my husband ejaculated inside me. I forgot to take the pill a few days so i'd double up. I started the pack on a thursday! Well, I forgot to take the last pill of the pack on thursday, also i forgot to stop at the pharmacy on friday to get my new pack of pills. so not only did i miss thursdays pills but i missed fridays, saturdays, and sundays, when i stopped to get my pills monday, they didnt have any so i missed mondays also, so here it is tuesday what are my chances of becoming pregnant with one not taking thursday-mondays pills and having intercouse with starting this new pack of pills?

A chance because any time you miss your risk the chance of ovulating. So just be careful for awhile to be on the safe side. May I ask why you went off for so long? Did you want to have a baby? Anyways you'll have to just wait it out. I would take you bc when your get it just in case you are not. It should not effect the baby if you are. I took bc for about 2 months being pregnant and not knowing. He's perfectly healthy!

I understand. Well I still don't know if you could be pregnant. Like I said there's a chance but don't risk it by not taking any bc. I guess if you are worried use condoms until your get your period and then start a new pack.
