    Missed Birth control pills. Could I get pregnant?
    I'm taking Ortho-Tri-Cyclen birth control pills and I am on week 3. I missed two pills in a row on Thursday and Friday (im a Sunday Starter). I realized I missed 2 pills on Saturday and took one and Saturday. I read the instructions for missed pills and threw out the rest of the pack and will start a new one today (Sunday). I had unprotected sex Thursday night (first day of missed pill). I also woke up to heavy bleeding this morning. Could I get pregnant

    Any time you have sex, even on the pill, there is a possibility of pregnancy. The pill lessens the possibility but doesn't complete negate it. Now, add to that a missed pill... well, sure, you could get pregnant. The question is, are you pregnant? We don't know.
