What Are The Symptoms Of A Potential Pregnancy?
I have been on the pill for over two years now. Last week Tuesday I took my pill 3 hours after I normally do. The next day (Wednesday) I made the same mistake. On the following Friday I had sex and the condom broke. On sunday I had very light bleeding and now I am having nothing. I should be getting my period in two days. How great is the possibility that i am pregnant?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.The oral contraceptive pills maintain its contraceptive efficacy of taken within 24-30 hours of the last pill intake. The contraceptive effect is maintained mostly.
However, there are very rare chances of pregnancy in case of failure, approximately 0.1%.
I would suggest you to wait for the periods, if delayed then do get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
