Hi, uhm. So lastnight I forgot to take my day 6 pill at 5:00 pm. My boyfriend and I then had sex without a condom at like 12:00 that same night. Then this morning at 11:30 I remebered that I had forgotten to take my pill lastnite and took it as soon as I remebered.
But i'm just paranoid because my boyfriend and I had sex lastnite.
So are the chances of me being/getting pregnant really high?
Or is missing one pill super bad?
Gah i'm just paranoid.

Pleeeease respond.

Everyone's body reacts differently. No one could tell you whether or not your chances are high or low.

Follow the directions on your pill package insert on what to do when you miss a pill. You should be fine, but this is how accidents happen.

Good luck!

(don't freak out!)
