Q: Missed Two Weeks Worth of Pills

I started back taking my pills and I only took the pill twice during the first week. I had unprotected sex twice that week. That weekend I started light bleeding and I took two pills. The bleeding stopped the next day. I didn't take my pills for the rest of the wek. That same week I had unprotected sex. What are my chances that I could have ovulated and become pregnant. :cry:

They are very good. When that happens your supposed to take one pill everyday til the end of the week and then start a new pack, I think. Someone correct me if i'm wrong... Honey, ya need to be a little more responsible with the pills. If you're not going to take them like you're supposed to, use backup. Condoms, foams, gels... Anything. Missing pills like that isn't good on your body. Be careful... And keep in touch.

How old are you??

Actually, it is often recommended that you take two pills for the first few days, then one for a few days and then start your new pack, this enables you to get the medication into your system faster.
