Missed a pill, weird circumstances, pregnancy chances?
Question Posted Sunday December 18 2011, 11:56 pm
Well, Friday the 9th I had anal sex with my boyfriend, which was about a week after my period ended. We didn't use protection and he came inside of me. I'm on birth control, but on either wednesday or thursday I missed my pill but I made it up the next day. Either way, I was caught up on my pills by the time I had sex but I hadn't taken the one for friday.I know that anal sex by itself can't get you pregnant but there might have been a chance that some semen leaked out and could have gone into my vagina. Back to my question, how likely is it that i'm pregnant? I'm really stressed about this and I'm afraid my period won't even show up.
sidenote: i know the whole spiel about having anal sex without protection, diseases, blah blah blah. I don't need a sermon, just an answer to my question.

When a women goes of birth control to have a child it generally takes at the very least one complete cycle before she can conceive. This is because it takes time for the medication to work out of her system. If you remember you were cautioned at first to continue to use other methods of birth control for the first month. This was to allow time for the medication to build in your system.
By virtue of this analogy: I would say that missing one pill does not raise your risk of becoming pregnant to any greater risk than had you not missed taking your pill. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If you are more than a week late then take a test and go from there. [ Jasmine23's advice column | Ask Jasmine23 A Question ]
