Is Pregnancy Possible While On Birth Control Pills?

I ve been on birth control for 3 years I recently changed types about 4 months ago. Well Saturday I missed a pill so I doubled up on Sunday and have taken pills normal now. Today is Wednesday and I had unprotected sex, is there a chance I could get pregnant?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry
Birth control pill is high effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has just 0.5 % failure rate.
As you just missed one pill and doubled on the next day does not affect the efficacy.
Take the birth control pill regularly on specific time by putting alarm in the mobile.
Hope this may help you
