i have been on the mini pill since last
october and have not had a period since i
started taking them, last saturday (3feb)
i totally forgot to take my pill but didnt
realise till sunday night after i ha
unprotected sex i know this is too soon to
get pregnant but i wondered when u ovulate
after a missed pill as i cannot use my
period dates as i havent had a period
since oct i also had unprotected sex on
fri 8th and sat 9th i again missed my pill
on saturday night and again didnt realise
till sunday and have had unprotected sex
on sun and mon with my fiance i know its
stupid but i forgot that i wasnt covered
for 7 days after missing a pill.
is there a chance i could have got
pregnant? how can i find my ovulation date
without having a period? will i still
ovulate? im so confused sorry everyone lol

Actually, on most mini-pills, if you miss
one, you are protected after two days. 48
hours. So the sex you had on the 8th and
9th was protected, as long as you had been
taking your pills correctly from the 3rd
to then.
If you aren't having a period, there's no
way to know when you are ovulating. You
might still ovulate, there's like a 50%
chance that you are ovulating, the
mini-pill works in different ways than
most pills (which is why it's effective
after only two days). SO what I'm saying
is, you might be ovulating, but there's
really no way to know if you are or when
you are, if your period isn't regular.
The mini-pill is a lot pickier than most
pills. You have to take it on time every
day (meaning, no more than 3 hours later)
or you do have a chance of getting
pregnant. So, if you missed a pill
Saturday, and had sex on Sunday, you could
get pregnant even if you took the pill
Sunday. So you could be pregnant from that
first time you mentioned.
You will have to wait until about two
weeks after that first time (until the
18th) but then you can take a pregnancy
test.
