Is Pregnancy Possible Due To Missed Oral Contraceptive Dosage Post Intercourse?
Question: Hi
8 days ago, I had sex with an ex girlfriend and ejaculated inside of her as I do often. She is religious about taking her extended/continuous birth control (Camrese) at the same time every night. On the night we were sexually active, she took her birth control but vomited at some point due to anxiety. I do not know if she vomited prior to or after taking the pill and she does not recall. She states that the pill is small and dissolves into the system quickly but if she vomited after taking the pill it is unknown if it was after 10 minutes or an hour.
The next day, she resumed her pills but DID NOT double up. Since that time, she has not missed any days. I also know that she had been taking the pill for at 21 consecutive days prior to having sex the evening she missed her pill. I believe this product is a 3 month cycle?
Should I be concerned about pregnancy?

Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy present.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Going by your details, if she has vomited the pill and did not double the pill next day, I think there are chances of pregnancy.
You had intercourse on the day she missed her pill. This increases the risk of pregnancy.
If she misses her next period, a urine pregnancy test must be done to rule out pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
Thanks.
