Is Pregnancy Possible While On Sprintec?
I am currently on sprintec and have been on it consistently for about a year. Recently I missed 2 or 3 days because I could not get my refill but had unprotected sex. Immediately after I started taking my pill again as normal. I then had unprotected sex a second time while on the pill. What is the risk that I could be pregnant??

Hello,
The contraceptive pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy. But you have missed one dose according to history and unprotected sex for two times. So although you have missed only one pill, there is little chance of pregnancy. So if your period is somehow delayed than urine HCG card test advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
