I Need Help...:(
Posted: 06-20-07 19:23pm

I am on Orthotricyclen and have been on them for about a year. On June 9th I took my last green sugar pill and my husband and I had sex that day, he ejaculated inside of me. I miss one day for not taking the pill, but Monday the 11th I got my refills and took the white active pill. I am nervous if I am gonna get pregnant. I am always taking my pills everyday and it has just been this one time that I have miss my pill. If you could I just need feedback please. Thank you.

It is definitely possible that you could be pregnant. I think it was .Eiri who said that the beginning of a pack is the riskiest time to miss a pill.

You were at some risk for pregnancy, because you started the pack late.

How much risk, if any at all, we cannot really tell you.

Actually it is week two and three that are the riskiest. I asked my doctor about that. 2-3 is when it is most likely that you will ovulate, although it is always possible to ovulate early it is not likely that you will ovulate again right after you have your period. This will give you a better idea:

menstrual phase Day 1–Day 4
follicular phase Day 5–Day 13
ovulation a few days before or after day 14 <<when you can get pregnant
luteal phase day 15–day 26
ischemic phase day 27–day 28

That is ONLY for a woman with a 28 day cycle though.

I work in womens health, gyn, not just 'family practice'.

Women with a 24 day cycle ovulate earlier.

On the pill women do not ovulate, so if you miss 2 or 3 pills at ANY point, other than the placebos, you could ovulate immediately.
