Is Pregnancy Possible While Missing Contraceptive Dosages?
Question: Took birth control previous day, next day ejaculated inside. Missed 3 pills after that . Should i be worried?
Brief Answer:
you should...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
missing more than one pill increases the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Missing 3 pills increases the risk further! If the ovulation occurs within the next 5 days after ejaculation, the sperm may be still living and be able to fertilize the egg. The most likely scenario is that none of the above will happen but there is some risk. You can't do anything right now but wait. After the 10th-14th day you can do a human chorionic gonadotropin measurement (blood test) which may reveal elevations of its serum levels if you got pregnant. If the test is negative then a second test a few days later will confirm that you're not pregnant.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
