I realy realy need help on making an
important decision so plz do not reply
unless u are a 100% sure that u are
correct...Ok well, if I am through with my
pack of birthcontrol pills and then not
take the next pack the first week I am
suppose to take it after my period. What
are the possibilities for me to become
pregnant during that week?....B/c I have
read many different answers one is that
yes b/c an egg can be release within 24
hrs but then I read that no b/c u do not
ovulate til after the first month of not
taking birthcontrol...So which is it or
atleast what is the possibility of
becoming pregnant? And if I decide to
start taking my birthcontrol the week
after I didn't take it will it end my
pregnancy since I know that it takes a few
days for a fertilized egg to attach
itself...I know this is all confusing but
i'm realy worried and I need to make a
decision fast...

Your chances of becoming pregnant while on
the pill is always 1%...As it is only 99%
effective....So it can happen...Take a
test if you're that concerned....

The week when you do not take your pills,
the progesterone level falls, and the
uterus will shed the lining those two
things together suppresses ovulation at
that time. You are no more likely to
become pregnant during that week than you
are in the rest of your cycle, as long as
you take the pills as directed, don't
start them late and are not taking any
other medication, supplement or herbal
concoctions that suppress the effect of
the pill.
