Can I Get Pregnant During The Time Of Missing Few Falmina Pills?

I missed 5 days in a row in the first week of falmina. I had unprotected sex during the time the pills were missed. No other forms on contraceptive was used. I have been on the pill for 6 years. What are the chances I could have become pregnant during the time the pills were missed?

Hello there,
Thank you for the question.
Oral contraceptive pills like Falmina work efficiently when taken correctly. If you miss more than 2 doses of these pills in a month then their efficiency goes down considerably. Now that you have missed 5 doses of the pill that too in the first week they are completely inefficient and there is a good chance that you could get pregnant from the intercourse during that period. Although in the first week after a period it is the safe period and so it is less likely but the chance cannot be denied. So if you miss your period by 2-3 days then please get a urine pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant. Try not to miss more than 2 doses in a month and if you do always use alternative forms of contraception. If you miss a dose take it immediately when you remember or take it next day with that day's pill.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
