Question
Hi Diane,
I missed my last pill of the pack. Today oct.10 was supposed to be my last day of pill & tomorrow oct. 11 will be the start of my 7 day free, & today with my stupidity I found out that the last pill was taken out already (this i didn't know if i mistakenly took it yesterday together with the 2nd to the last, or i just misplaced it). Hope this make sense to you. Anyway, i know i took my pill for yesterday (& i'm sure about that) and afterwards had sex, my question is with the missing last pill of the pack, what are the chances of me getting pregnant with this kind of situation..
Really need your answer & advise. Thanks
Dear Gina,
There is really nothing you can do at this point. There should not be a lot of chance of pregnancy but there is always a chance. There is no birth control method that is 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. Also, I really don't recommend the birth control pill or any kind of hormonal birth control method because of possibility of side effects or risks to you health. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know what happens.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
