Missed a birth control pill Posted: 02-17-08 13:39pm


I missed a birth control pill on Feb. 6th and had unprotected sex on Feb. 10th and he came in me. Could I possibly be pregnant?

If you only MISS ONE PILL you are 'ok'. By missing one pill you are no longer at 99% protection though, it goes down to 'typical use', which is 95-97% effective. PERFECT use is 99% effective.

Nothing is 100%.. Even taking the pill PERFECTLY is not 100%. That is why you need a back-up plan in place, just in case!!
