Q: Anyone Out There???missed the Pill Twice

im curious because my period is a day late...i have been taking Lutera OC for 3 months now and i recently missed a pill last saturday, so i took 2 on sunday, one 1st thing in the morning, the next at the usual time i take them, then a few days later on Tuesday I forgot again! As soon as i saw the pill pack and remembered i took the pill around 12:00 then took the pill for that day at 3:00 my question is what is the probability of me getting pregnant?? The instructions says if you miss the pill take two the next day and no backup is needed but do the chances grow if i miss another one a few days later, or am i safe?

I can say your pretty safe, the chances of pregnancy are really tiny and the fact it wasnt 2 days in a row i would say your pretty safe but cant guarantee. I would suggest if u miss a pill to use backup for that day and maybe a few days after just to be safe.

yeah the 1st time i didnt even have sex that day because i had realized i missed the pill but i didnt have my pillpack with me at the time, but the second time i missed i cant remember whether or not we had sex, im going to take a test at the planned parenthood just to be safe. I got pregnant on birth control once before, i guess thats why im so paranoid...
