Answer
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so please check with your physician as well. The information that I have is that anytime you don't take the pills correctly there is a possibility of getting pregnant. Even if you take the pills correctly, this method of birth control is not 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancy. I would wait a few days and take a pregnancy test. Please check out this website to find a free testing center in your area.

They can also tell you when to have the pregnancy test to get correct results. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you have any further questions. What type of pill are you taking and how long have you been on it? I wanted to let you know about some risks and side effects if you are interested. Also, the pill does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Let me know if you would like further information about these subjects.
