Is Pregnancy Possible Post Unprotected Sex Despite Missing A Birth Control Pill?

I have been on birth control for two years now. I take it at the same time everyday and have missed one pill in the last two months. Last month I m not sure if I got my period or not. I think I did, but it was extremely light. I was supposed to get mine today and I haven t yet.

Hello,

Pregnancy is unlikely. A single skipped pill does not usually cause contraception failure. You can simply go for a urine pregnancy test to check whether you are pregnant or not.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
