Question
Yesterday, I missed one of my Sprintec birth control pills and then the next day at about 1:45am i had unprotected sex and he came inside of me. Could I be pregnant? What are my chances of being pregnant? Where should I go to get help? I also had my period about 2 weeks ago, does that affect my chances? Please help!
When you miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if that means taking 2 pills in one day. Since you missed your pill yesterday, taking it today as well as today's pill will keep you protected. Your chance of getting pregnant is very little. You might want to consider emergency contraception (Plan B), but it's probably not necessary. Best regards.
