Is Pregnancy Possible While On Contraceptive Pills?
I had protected sex with my boyfriend 1 week ago. I am on an oral contraceptive however I had missed a few pills prior so we used a condom. After sex he took the condom off and discarded it, and we laid down together for approximately 5 min, until we wanted to go again. This time we began having sex without a condom for 2 min, until I stopped because I realized that he had not wiped off his penis after removing the condom. Could there have been leftover cum on his penis that could have gotten me pregnant?

Hello,
A break in taking oral contraceptives runs risk of conception.
Depending on the time lag between unprotected sex (within 5 to 7 minutes), there are fair chances of entering left over semen in female genital. Conception is possible.
In case you want to avoid, go for emergency pill.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
