Could I Be Pregnant After Missing A Birth Control Pill?
i take birth control regularly but on thursday night i forgot to take my birth control so on friday i took two at the same time. Then, friday night I had unprotected sex but he did not cum inside me. Then on saturday morning We had it twice again both times he pulled out before he came inside me. I read online that skipping a day of birth control increases your risk to get pregnant so on sunday night I took Plan B. Do you think I am going to get pregnant. Or will i be okay since I still did take the birth control and he did not come inside me. I was just worried like what if a little did and it hit me before I took plan B.

Hello and welcome,
Missing one pill does not have a great effect on the efficacy of the pills. Also you have taken it as soon as you remembered. The ejaculation was also not inside so there is no chance of pregnancy. Also you have used plan B. It must be taken within 72 hours. So it will offer some protection against sex of Friday. All of these protect against pregnancy.
The chances are not there. So do not worry. You may have menstrual irregularities as you have taken plan B. They are expected. If you still miss a period, it will be most likely due to plan B but still get a urine test done if it misses for more than 7 days. Do not worry. There is no chance of pregnancy.
Hope this satisfies your query.
