    Default Skipped 3 days of bc followed by semi protected sex, what are my chances?

    First of all, thank you for providing such a helpful website! I have been combing the Internet searching for answers and this seems to be the place to ask.
    My last period started on July 31st and lasted til about the 4/5th. I accidentally forgot to take my bc pills on the 5th, 6th, and 7th. I then took 2 pills on the afternoon of the 8th, and 2 the mornings of the 9th and 10th. I then had semi-protected sex on 10th and 11th, and by that I mean either starting out without condoms and then pulling out or putting on a condom before finishing. On the 16th and the 22nd I also forgot to take the pill in the morning and made up for it in the late afternoon (both days having sex prior or proceeding with the same method described above. I have never been so bad a remembering before (I've been on the pill, tri-ortho,for three years) but I have been doing a lot of traveling this month and it has me all out of sorts. I am wondering what my chances of pregnancy are, considering he never finished inside of me? I am feeling slightly more paranoid especially considering my face, which is usually quite clear has suddenly experienced a major breakout, particularly along my jawline and neck, but maybe this is just from missing the original pills? I also have been experiencing a very loud, gurgly belly, even though Ive been eating constantly... Is that anything to mention? My next period is supposed to start on the 28th and i dont really want to waste taking a pregnancy test as i have read that they are not as effective until after a missed period. I apologize for the length of this, I just want to make sure I provide you with all of my information.

    When ever you miss a pill, especially multiple pills in a row you can ovulate really anytime that month. So, for the whole month you should be using condoms or avoiding sex entirely (not just on the days that you missed the pills/took them late). Using the pull out method also is not a good defense against pregnancy since there usually is some sperm released before hand. So, besides the days that you mentioned did you also not use condoms? If you didn't, I'd say that you have a moderate chance of pregnancy this month.

    Thank you for replying! I did not know that about missing pills.... No we never used condoms for an entire "event", it was always a last minute move or not at all (but always at least pulling out). I am feeling quite nauseous now but I am thinking maybe that is because I am so nervous!!

    You do have a possibility of being a pregnant. My friend got pregnant by skipping one pill. Take a test!

    It's best to wait until your period is late or at least the day it is due. Some people test sooner but a negative at that point isn't necessarily reliable.
