Missing pills

The miss pills will increase the chances. There is no way to put a number on it,

Also, how long should I use back up contraceptives after missing a pill?

Can you become pregnant the same day or day after you missed a birth control pill?

You can but it does not usually happen that way. Be more careful and take your pills as directed.

For some people who have problems remembering to take birth control pills shots or inter uterine devices are better.

ive been on BC for over 3 years. I RARELY forget. unfortunately I did not have my pills with me today where I was. Don't infer that I am forgetful. I am VERY careful about it, hence this question..

I have been on birth control for a while now but just recently found out what it does to actually prevent pregnancy. If it stops ovulation why do I still get cervical mucus half way through the cycle (like at the same time I would be ovulating if I was off BC.)? Thanks!

I'm thinking about not starting my new pack of birth control tomorrow which will also be the first day of this cycles period. I want to try to get pregnant soon. Is it true that I can begin ovulating as soon as 2 weeks after stopping birth control? Also, any one have tips that helped them when trying or they heard of helping others become pregnant faster? I understand it's different for everyone.

I am on BC pills and I am due to start Sunday. This past Sunday(1week before my period) I went pee and when i wiped there was so dark brown stringy discharge. The next time I went there was nothing and is now early Wednesday morning and have seen nothing. I am also extremely moody like even I notice. Am I just pmsing? Could I be pregnant with implantation bleeding? Is it just breakthrough spotting? Someone please shed some light.

Hi,

It really could be any of those possibilities. If you have been taking your pills as directed, without missing any, odds are low that you are pregnant, however it is still possible.

See what happens when your period is due to start. Obviously if it doesn't show, try a pregnancy test.
