Is Pregnancy Possible If A Dosage Of Contraceptive Is Missed?

Hi, I was taking my birth control pill. I noticed that I was behind a dosage, but I don t remember when I missed it. It might have been last week. So I took the missed dosage. Last night I had sex with my significant other without a condom. So now I don t know what to do

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Missing the dose of birth control pills always carries a risk of pregnancy.
Hence, it is advisable to take the missed dose as early as possible, which would ensure to give protection.
In case a dose is missed, you need to use other modes of contraception like using condoms and spermicidal creams.
Kindly continue with the remaining doses of your birth control pills and wait for the periods to happen.
In case it is delayed, kindly consult Gynaecologist and get yourself evaluated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
