Should I Be Worried About An Unprotected Sex After Taking Missed Pills?

Hi. I've been using diane 35 for almost 3 years now. This is the first time i missed 2 pills for week 3. And took the 2 missed pill and continued taking the other pills. I also took the next pack without skipping. I had unprotected sex after taking up the 2 missed pill

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I have gone through your query and would like to offer you some information. If you have had the period after completion of the monthly pill course, you need not worry about failure. However, since you missed two pills in a row, you should have used additional protection though missing the third week pills is of lesser risk. If you still suspect the possibility of pregnancy, please go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres as it is a very sensitive and specific test. Further management can be planned accordingly. Hope this helps.
