im a wednesday girl when it comes to opening a new pack of pills each month. i very good about taking my pill everyday. but last week, not so much. i passed out early last fri after work and forgot to take it. then saturday i packed a bag to go to my friends house, and i kept thinking “i know im forgetting something” ..i was. my birthcontrol. well she dropped me off at my bfs house that night and i stayed at his house til monday afternoon. so i didnt take my pill fri. sat. or sun. and all 3 days he came inside me. when i got home monday i took two pills each day til i caught up. im back on track now. but for those 3 days was the chemicals from the pills still working or not? and did i do the right thing by taking two pills til i caught up? and is my chance of pregnancy high?

If you did not take your pills over the weekend, then you were not protected during that time. Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. Missing that many pills will decrease the effectiveness of the birth control pills. You did the correct thing as far as making up your missed pills.  For the rest of this pill pack, either abstain from sexual activity or use condoms. Begin a new pill pack on time. You may experience some irregular spotting or bleeding throughout the rest of this current pill pack. You period may come a little earlier than usual. Continue to take your pills correctly & consistently, and your cycle should return to normal with a month or two.

If your next period is more than 1 week late, perform a pregnancy test, either at home or at a clinic.
