Question
hi,i have been taking seasonale for about 6 months and have been taking it the same time every night except for one night.i usually take it at 10 p.m but took it at 6p.m...me and my boyfriend had sex without a condom the next night and that night i took my pill at ten p.m.? what are my chances of been pregnant?
No one knows the answer to that question. You will have to wait and see. There are many variables involved: where in your cycle you were, how many pills were left in the pack, how fertile you are, how fertile he is, etc. There is no such thing as 100% effective birth control so you should always double your protection if you REALLY don't want to be pregnant.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
