Q: What Are the Chances That I'm Pregnant?

I have been on the pill for months now and I normally take it at 8:30pm. I was up to the last active pill in the packet but forgot to take it. The night I forgot to take it I had sex but we always put a condom on him before he cums inside of me. The next day at 11:30am I realised I had forgotten the pill so I took it straight away but since it was the last pill of the pack I didnt have any other ones to take so I was freaking out so we went and got the morning after pill and I took that at 12:30pm. What are my chances of being pregnant? Can't u like go for 7 days without taking the pill and still be protected as long as u have had a good build up of 7 or more pills taken properly? Because that is what the inactive tablets are. So if I start on the pill again before 7 days are up should I be ok?

Your chances of being pregnant are very low. Continue taking your pills as normal.

Yes your chances are super low, especially if you got the mroning after pill, and especially since he used a condom.

Well I was meant to get my period yesterday because I have gotten it at that time ever since i've been on the pill but I didnt get it. I'm really worried now. Do you think because I had been on the pill and then took the morning after pill the extra hormones from the morning after pill could make my period late because I took these on the day when I would normally start my inactive pills. Can the morning after pill cause u to have a late period and if so how late?

Yes, the morning after pill can mess with your hormones. If you are still concerned, please go to a clinic near you and get a pregnancy test.

Good luck!

this statement concerns me! The only time you can go 7 days without taking the pills is during the placebo week. Those are the fourth week of pills you have in your pack, and they have no hormones in them. It is so you will have your period. I hope you do not think that you can just not take the other pills for a week, because you will not be protected from pregnancy in that case!
