Q: Please Help!! Could I Be Preganant?

I am currently on the pill. I take the pill regularly and have done so for about a year.

On friday evening I forgot to take one and I had unprotected sex around 3am (sat morning) & 11am (sat morning). When I finially remembered to take it, it was around 6pm. (i have basically missed a pill altogether)

i took my last pill yesterday and should be due on this thursday.

What are the chances of me being preganant?

If I am, would I still come on this week?

Thanks - your advice and comments would be helpful.

Hi,i don;t really have an answer for you sorry to say, I just didn;t want you to see that so many people viewed your post and no answer..... You think it would ba slim to none chance, but you hear of people all of the time who miss one and get pregnant, so good luck to you and I am sure someone wiser to the situation than me will answer your question soon... All of these girls on here are great..... You came to the right place to ease your mind, but don;t stress, you can always go to the dr later when it has been long wnough for a blood test, or just buy a hpt.

Wow. First of all even girls on the pill who don't miss can get preg. (not very often though). But if u completely forget u should use extra protection for at least one week after (some docs say 2 weeks). And usually they say if u remember to take it w/in 12 hrs after u would normally take it, u should be ok... However antibiotics completely void the pill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While u r on them u need to use extra protection (condomns) for the period ur on them and for 2 weeks after. Not sure what to tell u ur chances r but did want u to know for the future what to do when this happens. Good luck

Last year I was on the shot for about 9 months and I switched to the pill I was on the pill for about a month or two into it I started missing the pills I tried to take it when I remembered but it was two late and I got pregnant(but missed carried later. I think if u miss three or more then there's a problem,but there are people who miss one and got pregnant.....Just try and wait to see if ur period comes or not..

Just wait to see if your period comes... Then try testing before your next expected period or call your gyno

No, your not being silly~your just concerned! If it would calm your nerves then yes, take a test! It never hurts to just test and see what it says! Good luck!
