Birth Control and Period ... Pregnant??? - Birth Control Message Board

I need some help - and quickly! I was just wondering what some of you thought. I had one more pill to take before my placebo pills to start my period. Accidentally, I had taken a placebo pill in place of my last BC pill before my period and had unprotected sex the night before. I didn't realize this until a week later. I got my period that week on the Tuesday, where I missed the pill the previous sunday. But I am still worried - could I be pregnant? Is it likely that I could get pregnant while on my period? And would the hormones fomr the Saturday pill still be in my body?

I think that it was probably too late into your pack for you to worry. You are probably ok.

When you are on birth control pills you aren't supposed to ovulate, so as long as you were taking the other pills on schedule you should be fine. Missing one pill usually isn't a problem, especially if you had sex the night before the missed pill and not after. I think you'll be alright and don't stress too much about it.

^^yeah, dont stress about it. Stressing will give you weird symtoms and youll start thinking pregnacey like symtoms.I think you will be just fine. I missed two or three weeks of pills and I didnt get preggers. Trust me, i am not saying its ok to miss any pills. But, more than likely, its ok to miss one because your whole system changes once you start the pill as a regular.
