yes, there is a VERY good chance your pregnant. If your not trying to conceive, switch methods of birth control, because you obviously cant seem to remember to take it.

You have a very small window right now, but you still have time for plan b. Plan b is a two dose pill you take in a last attempt to prevent pregnancy and works similar to regular birth control pills only a little stronger. The longer you wait to take it, the less chance you have of it working but you have 120 hours after sex (the sooner the better-- I can't stress that enough!). You can pick plan b up at target, planned parenthood, or any pharmacy.

You need to find another form of birth control.

If you're gonna dance, you got to pay the fiddler. An old saying.......hence the term....protective sex. There is no 100% method for not getting pregnant, unless you have a complete hysterectomy, you are sterile or he's sterile...........you are skipping pills and not using condoms...duh, the word Preggo is most certainly gonna pop up in your world. Unplanned pregnancy, not a really good way to start a family......................There are ways of preventing this, please be resposible enough to take the precautionary measures to NOT get pregnant, until you are ready and willing to be the best Mom in the world! Because I for one believe children today deserve a fair chance and to have the best parents possible. The world we live in is complex enough................
