Question
Hi
My question is about getting pregnant by missing one pill. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex and I forgot to take my pill that day, my period finished the day before that. Now after every time we have sex I bleed very lightly and then it goes away. Am I pregnant or is it because I missed my pill?

Thanks

Ocean

Answer
It's possible that you could be pregnant or that something else is going on. Please take a pregnancy test. You can find a free pregnancy resource center at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
Another site http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

You can get pregnant from just missing one pill. Some women get pregnant even taking the pill correctly. No birth control method is 100% safe from pregnancy.
