What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy While On Birth Control Pills?

I am on birth control and take it usually at 10 on every night. Last Friday I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend withdrawing and didn t take my pill that night, but instead at 9 am the next morning, and took my Saturday pill at the normal time. (This was on my third week of pills) I am now on my placebo pills and am late for my pill, is there a chance of pregnancy?

Welcome to HCM. It is my pleasure to assist you today.

There are less chances of pregnancy when on birth control pills. As far as the missed/late dose is concerned it is ok as after unprotected sexual intercourse you have 72 hours to take the contraceptive pill. And you did in that window period.
If you are still worried or in doubt, better option is to go for an OBGYN visit who will confirm for you the chances of pregnancy after going for an Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis.
I think it is all you needed an answer for today. If you have more health related issues you have the option to contact us anytime. We , the HCM team will be more than happy to address your issues with care.

Healthiest Regards!
