Is Pregnancy Possible After Missing 2 Doses Of Birth Control Pills?
Question: Took Birth Control Previous day .Partner ejaculated inside me next day on my ovulation day & im fertile.I have missed 2pills . Is it possible i could get pregn?
Yes, the birth control pills did not have enough time to work yet so you could get pregnant. Consider an emergency contraception such as Plan B, XXXXXXX or Copper T IUD implant. Call your dr. to discuss which he/she recommends for you.

I started to bleed yesterday , my period wasnt supposed to come till the 22nd . Does that mean it came early ? should i start catching up on the birth control
Brief Answer:
You should call your doctor at this point.
Detailed Answer:
If you miss more than 2 birth control pills, and are now having withdrawal bleeding, call your health care provider for instructions. Often the plan is to take one pill every day until Sunday and then throw the rest of the pack out. Then start a new pack that same day (Sunday).
But given that you could possibly be pregnant, I think you should call your doctor to make sure you are not taking the Pill while pregnant. Pregnancy tests are accurate by approximately 10 days after you ovulate if it is a blood test, and 14 days after if a urine test.
Do know that if you missed pills this cycle, you must use another form of birth control (such as condoms plus spermicide) while you are getting established again on the Pill. So use back up now AND until you have finished the NEXT COMPLETE PACK.
