What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
Hey, I am on the progesterone contraceptive pill. Last week I missed the pill the day I had sex with my boyfriend. We used a condom so I should be protected. However he fingered me soon after briefly touching himself and I am worried he may have had precome on his hand. I continued to take the pill as usual after missing the day. A few days later I had a light period which lasted only about 3 days. Does this mean there is no way I am pregnant? I am just worried. Thanks.

My dear,
You seem to be unnecessarily stressed out.
Birth control pills act in a whole as a pack and not in single event. Missing one pill in a cycle should not cause pregnancy. Moreover, you had menses also. So you are not pregnant. Your light bleeding could be due to progesterone pills you are having.
I hope this has taken away your stress.
