Q: Missed a Pill...

I had unprotected sex yesterday. I realized last night that I was behind a pill, but I have no idea when it was that i missed it. I took two last night to get caught up. Im on loestrin, which worries me too because the dose is so low that being just a bit off can start me bleeding sometimes.

Im worried that I could be pregnant, what are the chances? Should I consider the morning-after pill?

You should be fine, missing one pill normally isn't dangerous.

it's okay, because you took a pill the day after, and after that.

I've missed plenty of pills and have yet to get pregnant. From the sounds of it you only missed one and have been taking it sense. So you're probably fine. Especially if the missed pill was a few days before the unprotected sex.
