Missed Pill After Sex - Pls Help!!!
Posted: 04-30-05 22:50pm

Hi everyone, this is driving me insane and I hope someone can help. I've been on birth control for about 6 months now. 10 days ago my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. I had taken my pills up until that point and I had taken one on the day when we had sex. I forgot to take it the next day, however and took two pills, as recommended, on the following day. Is there any chance of getting pregnant because of a missed pill the day after intercourse? Does anyone have any details of how birth control works in this case? It's still too early to get a test. For the past two days I have a feeling of a lump in my throat and I don't know if it's stress or can it be an early sign of pregnancy? Please help!!!

If it's just the one day then you should be fine.. More than one day and you really need to use a back-up method of protection, but I wouldn't worry at all.
