Is Pregnancy Possible On Missing A Dose Of Birth Control Pill?
Hi I am on the 28 day falmina birth control. I have been taking it for a few months now and on my 10th or so pack(give or take a few) I missed the 7th pill in my pack but I took it the next day along with the next. I had sex without any other contraception that night. Is there a possibility I am pregnant?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Missing one pill do not decreases the contraceptive efficacy of the birth control pills, if you have taken the pill the very next day.
I suggest you to not to worry as the contraceptive efficacy was maintained.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
