What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Missing A Birth Control Pill?
Hello, I have missed my fifth day of a new packet of my birth control pills, by the time I remembered it had already been 12 hours since I should have taken it but I took it as soon as I remembered. Also I had sex two days ago. What are the chances for getting pregnant from this? I have been on the pill for about a year.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Chances of pregnancy is the same as if you didn't miss a dose - less than 3%.
As you had it within the first week of your period, this further reduces possibility of pregnancy next to nill.
Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
