I recentally missed 3 pills, I took two
pills on one day and two pills the next
day and I did not use a backup method when
having sex and it was the day I took the
first two pills. I was half way into the
second week of my pills I have been on the
pill for many years but i've only been on
this certain pill for about 5 months. The
day after I had sex I started a break
through period which last for about 6 days
with heavy bleeding, just like a regular
period. I am due to start my period in
about a week but I am wondering if it is
possible that I could be pregnant from
missing the pill but still having a period
right after. Please help.

Hi there -
i would be really surprised if you turned
out to be pregnant. Since you've been on
the pill for a while, and you took a
fairly large dose after you missed those 3
days, the bleeding was probably a reaction
to the change in the hormone levels (from
regular to none to a lot, all within a
week). The relatively normal period you
describe almost eliminates the possibility
of pregnancy in any case. I would
continue taking the pill normally and only
worry if your period doesn't come at all
next time.
