Question
I missed the first 3 days of my new pack and on the 4th I started taking the new pack regularly, am i doing everything right? I also had sex on the fourth day (1st day i took the pill) my boyfriend used a condom but we "finished" at the same time and i couldn't tell if what i felt on me was his or mine i don't know if the condom popped he said it didn't but it was sticky and I'm not sure how female orgasms are supposed to feel, is it possible i can get pregnant?

Answer
Veronika,

Yes, it's possible that you could be pregnant. Not taking the birth control pills correctly can make you have a better chance of pregnancy. But even if you take all the pills absolutely correctly, you can still get pregnant. Any kind of birth control is not 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. There is no method that is 100% safe. So if you develop any symptoms of pregnancy or miss your next period, please take a pregnancy test. You can get a free test at a local pregnancy resource center. To find one go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
