Is There A Risk Of Pregnancy If Birth Control Pills Are Not Taken Everyday?
Hi, I ve been on birth control for almost a year now. I just finished my period on the 15th of July and was supposed to start my new month package on the 16th but forgot so I took the two pills the next day and had sex 2 days later. Am I at risk of being pregnant?

Hi,
As you have missed the pill just at the beginning of the cycle and you have also taken 2 pills, you are on right track.
As such sexual activity in the first week of the menstrual period is not going to lead to pregnancy.
I will suggest you continue with the pulls regularly in the remaining cycle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar, OBGYN
