Hi, I am extremely confused and worried right now and this seems to be the only place I can look to. My last period was on April 22nd, Im on ortho tri cyclen lo birth control and have been on it for about three months. On the April 23rd I missed one of the inactive pills and I has intercourse with my boyfriend on April 27th. I think the condom broke and thats what makes me paranoid. Am I safe? What are my chances of getting pregnant? My period is due tomorrow and Im getting cramping but I noticed a lot if cervical mucus and Im usually dry around this time. I also missed a pill on May 7th I believe. Will that delay my period? Someone please help me. Im so paranoid right now.
Hi, how is your doing ? Let me start by assuring you that if you have only the inactive pills chances of pregnancy is nearly zero The active pills have the hormones that suppress the ovulation & get your periods on time. The inactive or dummy pills are only to remind you when you have to take the next packet. So If you have missed the inactive pills don't worry, neither your periods will get altered, nor will you get pregnant. But this cannot be said if you miss any of the hormone or active pills. If you miss the hormone pills you better have emergency contraceptives. These secretions may occur even in normal periods. Only solution is wait for periods for 7-10 days, if still don't get periods, have a urine pregnancy test. Hope I have clarified your queries, do write back if anymore queries the best Chat Doctor.
