Q: Please Please Help!

I recently had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (he withdrew before he came) and i'm taking the pill (microgynon 30) but I forgot to take the pill later on in the evening. I also didnt take the pill when I remembered that i'd forgotten it.. I just ignored it.

Is there a high chance I could be pregnant?

I would like to take a pregnancy test to put my mind at rest, but does microgynon effect the result of the test? Should I wait until I have finished my current pack?

Please please help!

I believe you need to use a backup method for 24 or 48 hrs when you miss a pill (or just don't take it??!!). More info is needed. When did you have sex? When is your period due? More than likely you're not preg.

More than likely you are not pregnant at all. I used to miss a pill and nothing ever happened. You are only really fertile 14 days before your period if you have a 28 day cycle.

i had sex probably mid december time. I didnt take the pill when I remembered i'd missed it, I stupidly took it at the end of the pack (does that make sense?) I havent had a break from packs since then (due to me going on holiday and not wanting a period..)

after the missed pill, I took the rest correctly.

Did you miss your period last month? You're supposed to take any missed pills as soon as you remember.

i didnt have a period, I started a new pack of pills straight away because I was going on holiday and didnt want a period. Yeah, I know about taking the pill as soon as you've forgotten now.

Okay, well, there is a small chance you could be preg. Test, the bc pills will not effect the outcome of the test.

Just test close to your expected period

I very doubt you are pregnant but if I were you just do what the other people have been saying and take a test when your period is due if it doesn't show up
