When you do not take your pills correctly & consistently, it will decrease their effectiveness. You did take the forgotten pill, so that is good. I assume you are continuing to take your pills every day. Overall, the risk of pregnancy is probably low, but it could be possible.
Taking Plan B would have been an option. Plan B is most effective when taken within 24-72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Research shows that it can also be effective when take as long as 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. After 5 days, it’s probably ineffective and not worth taking.
Continue taking your pills every day. If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.
Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, Plan B and pregnancy testing at little to no cost, depending on your household size & income. STD screenings are free for men & women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.
