Family Planning Plus

Yes, pregnancy is possible. When you missed three consecutive days of pills, your hormone levels may have changed enough for ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) to occur. The fact that you did have some bleeding is promising though, as the majority of women do not have bleeding during pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test right way. If negative, wait three weeks and then repeat the test.  In the meantime, do not stop taking your birth control pills (unless you are pregnant). Hopefully, you made your pills up correctly by taking two pills a day until you were caught up. If you frequently forget to take pills, you may want to consider switching to a different method of birth control.  If you would like more information about your contraceptive options, feel free to contact one of our offices.
