dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 okay so last tuesday i took my pill but vomited a short time after ( im not sure if it was long enough for the pill to be absorbed my body). Wednesday and thursday i forget it. friday i took two pill to make up for the two days i had missed. Saturday i forget again but remebered 6 pm that night so took it then. sunday and monday i took them both. anyway, my question is, should i still be safe from pregnancy? feedback much appreciated , thanks =) Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 oh and btw had unprotected sex friday night and satuday night. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I personally wait a week after missing a pill before I have unprotected sex again. And perhaps finding another method of BC would be in your best interest? Forgetting this much in one week is not good for your body nor your chances of getting pregnant. Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 so my chances of falling pregnant are pretty slim? Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 so my chances of falling pregnant are pretty slim? I would actually say the opposite. Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 okay i guess time will tell. im not going to panic or stress until i have to. a pregnancy test won't show an accurate result for another 4 weeks, right? Link to comment

That I'm not sure. most pregnancy tests can tell you within a week of a missed period I believe. But I would serioulsy consider another form of BC Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 i am actuallly thinking of going on another form of birth control. maybe the 3 month injection. but i have to wait until i finish this pack of pills , i have only just started my first week. i am doubtful that i am pregnant, i don't think i would of started ovulating within two days..

OptomisticGirl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wait. You weren't taking BC BEFORE this week? As in this week was your very first, ever week of taking the pill? If that's the case than yeah, there is a HUGE chance your pregnant considering they tell you to wait at least a week after starting BC to have unprotected sex because the pill has to have time to get into your system. It doesn't matter when you start ovulation - sperm can stay alive in your vagina for up to a week after sex. So even though you may not ovulate until say Tues, the sperm fro Fri or Sat could still be in you and fertalize the egg. I also don't think taking an injection with a pill is a viable 'other' form of BC. Not sure but I don't think you can take both kinds of those BC at the same time. Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 im not going to be taking the injection whilst taking the pill, i am going to wait until my pack is finished. no this is not my first packet, i have been taking the pill for 4 months now. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Then the likely is decreased but any time you miss a pill and have unprotected it isn't good.d Link to comment
dazednconfuse Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 can anyone else give me more advice? i just want to know the odds of me falling pregnant, given my current situation. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 No one can you an 'odd' - we aren't doctor's. Only way you'll know is to take a test Link to comment
charity Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 this is the way people get pregnant while on the pill. miss a pill here or there, ehen have unprotected sex. i know because i do it all the time and its not good. people like us definitely need an different form of birth control. the likelihood of you being pregnant depends on where you were in your cycle. 9- 14 days from the first day of your last period is the MOST unsafe time to have unprotected sex.

chickydoodle Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Best to ring a family planning or birth control clinic. I feel their advice will be there is a high risk here. There is a risk of pregnancy even if taking the ocp 100% correctly, and forgetting pills early in the cycle is not good. It is worth contacting a clinic for advice on this as well as a subcutaneous , intramuscular or intra-uterine form of BC for future. You will be lucky to escape this one. The only fact in your favour is that you have been on the pill for a few mths and often one does not usually fall pregnant straight after stopping ocp ( this is the experience of those trying to conceive).

dazednconfuse Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 thankyou for your advice. yes i am hoping that i am not pregnant due to the fact that i have been on the pill for a few months now. i don't want to take a pregancy test. i will wait to see if i get my period in about two weeks. i know my boyfriend would not be happy and that i would be alone, either getting an abortion or keeping the baby. so fingers crossed that i am not pregnant. i would the chances are in my favor =) Link to comment
