Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Missing birth control pills and having unprotected intercourse always carries a risk of pregnancy.
Whenever you miss your pills, it is advised to take protection by using condoms and spermicides until you get your periods while indulging in intercourse.
Kindly continue with the birth control pills. In case your periods are delayed by a week, you need to take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
