Question
I had sex with my boyfriend on May.7. I then forgot to take my BC pills the 7th and 8th. I'm on the 3rd week of the BC pills, what are my chances of getting pregnant?
Also this is the first time I've EVER forgoten to take two or more pills and I've been on BC since Spring 2005.
THanks so much.

Answer
Hi Jen,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor so I suggest that you seek medical advice. In my opinion, there is a small chance that you could be pregnant but I can't say what percentage. If you have any symptoms or just want to know, you can get a free pregnancy test at a pregnancy resource center. You can find one in your area by going to this website http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you don't live in the U.S. you can go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
to find one. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
