c**p.............forgot to take my birth control pill!?

Question

I had my baby at the end of feb and have been on birth control for a little over 2 months now. Well somehow I totally forgot to take my pill yesterday and I didnt realize it until it was time for me to take it today. and I had s*x twice today but not at all last night.

Could I get pregnant or are my chances slim?

I haven't forgotten before. and I ended my last period about 8 days ago

Please dont tell me that Im irresponsible and that I should have remembered trust me I already know that and am extrememly mad at myself right now.

Answer 1

Your chances of getting pregnant again are very high. Instead of having to remember to take your birth control pill --go to the website I provided as one of my sources--Mirena seems like a good way to prevent from getting pregnant and if you do want to have more children you can always have it removed.

~hope this helped

Answer 2

There is always a chance. I heard you can double up on the pill if you forgot. I don't know if that goes for all bc pills. Taking the pill every day sucks and your not irresponsible for forgetting it happens to everyone about something. Have you thought about using a patch or the ring instead? I used the ring and loved it as my bc method. That way you don't have to remember the pill

Answer 3

Congratulations!! (Just kidding) There is a very good chance you could be pregnant again though. Look at the bright side- your kids would be close in age. =]

Answer 4

8 days ago for your last lmp should keep you in the clear if you double up your dose today. There is a slim chance of pregnancy while on the pill. Though i think according to ovulation times and the lifespan of sperm you should be more than fine. sperm can live 4-5 days in fertile cervical fluid. though that's about 13-15 days after your last period. During non-fertile times sperm lives less than 24 hours. So either way it would be dead before your egg releases. Maybe you can look into the birth control ring? i have 8 friends who use it and absolutely love it!!

Answer 5

There is always a solution for that problem there is a thing called the depo shot and it also is a form of birth control and works like this, some times you may not get your period for 3 to 9 months at a time and also some people will have there period normally on a regularly basis it depends on your body and how it operates. oh and also you get the shot every 3 months.
