Can I Get Pregnant If I Miss Birth Control Pill?

I ve been on the pill (Loestin 20) for four weeks and four days. I started my second pack 11 days ago. I take the pill roughly at 20 to 1 in the afternoon each day. I had unprotected sex, and my boyfriend came inside. (on a Thursday) I then missed my pill the next day (on Friday) and was a couple hours slightly late taking my pill on the Saturday with the missed pill from Friday as well. This was almost a week ago. Could I be pregnant. I have never missed a pill till then. I know that missing one pill and doubling up when you remember the next day does not require emergence y contraception so I did not seek an emergency contraception. I remember having dirrahea the morning after having sex (which could be due to a sudden change in diet I had during that week) Could I be pregnant?

Hi.. thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..
Since you have taken the missed tablet on next day there is less chance of pregnancy.. Only if more than 2pills are missed alternate contraception is required..

Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
