Okay, here is my story.... I have been on birth control sice april of this year.... And I have not had sex since july.... But I still stayed on birthc ontrol.... I forgot to take my pill on day, so I took two the next day at the same time.. And then I had unprotected sex... He did not cum inside me though... And then I forgot to take my birth control again, so I doubled up the next day again... I did not skip a pill, I just doubled up at the same time... But then I had sex again, again he did not cum inside me... So I am still protected?? And is that a bad thing to double up on two pills at once? Also, I have not had sex with a lot of guys... This recent guy was only my second... And I am not very educated on sex, but can I get pregnant from "pre-cum" please help me.... I am so confused and scared!!! Crying or Very sad

I thought that I was supose to double up if I forgot, but I was told that I am not protected so please help me!!!

Hi sugar pie.Doubling up on the pill one day will not protect u.Depending on whether ur on the mini pill or he combined pill, u have 2 take the pill u missed within a cerain number of hours e.G. 12hrs 4 the combined and 3 for the mini pill.
You can get pregnant even if he does pull out-remember,it only takes 1 sperm out of millions 2 reach that egg.
R u late on ur period yet? U need 2 visit ur doc.If ur not pregnant,get on a form of brith control that u will remember 2 use cos if u cant deal with the consequences,ur obviosuly not ready 2 do the deed.
Here if u wanna talk,liz x
