Chances are you are not pregnant. You still have time to take the Plan B though.

I agree; you should go get plan b just in case. Birth control is supposed to prevent ovulation, but if you miss 2 pills then that messes up the constant hormone flow in your body that stops the ovulation and it could cause it to happen.

You want to get pregnant? Does your boyfriend know this/do you have plans for pregnancy? How old are you?

If you want to get pregnant, than you shouldn't be on birth control.
