Is Pregnancy Possible With Irregularity In Taking Birth Control Pills?

Hello, I have been on birth control for many years now and 2 weeks ago i started a new pack. the first week of the pack i missed the tuesday pill. but the next day i remembered and took it, as well as my wednesday pill. since then i tried to retrain from sex and continued to take the pills assigned for each day. 11 days after the missed pill, i had sex but i did have them NOT ejaculate inside. but i know there is still a chance. What is the probability of myself being pregnant?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Birth control pills should be taken on the same time everyday as per the schedule. Missing a pill would certainly give a chance to become pregnant. However, it is recommended that in case you miss a pill, it needs to be taken as early as possible.

Also, during such circumstances, you need to take precautions like using condom and spermicides when you indulge in intercourse, until you get your periods. Kindly wait for your periods to happen in time. In case it gets delayed by more than a week, kindly take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.

Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
