    It's possible. No form of because is 100% effective even when taken correctly. When not taken correctly it becomes even less effective. Now it's just a waiting game. Missing pills can throw your cycle off. So if I were you, if I didn't get my period within a week of when I'd expected it, I'd take a test. If you just missed the pills the other day it would be too soon to tell, and too early for you to have any symptoms.

    I'm confused. Are you trying to get pregnant?

    It is very possible to get pregnant on birth control. I got pregnant on the birth control pill last year. Espically if you miss a pill. That is how it happened to me. I missed a total of two pills throughout the month and got pregnant.

    Yes that excatly what I think happened to me too. I will have to wait and see but I missed two pills but I'm taking the birthcontrol that you take for three months and then have a period and so I didn't know the chances with that.
    Are they different?

    This is going to sound like splitting hairs, but if you miss "a few pills" you are not really on the pill anymore. So I would not say you got pregnant "while on the pill" but that you got pregnant after you stopped taking it regularly.

    But yes it could happen. It is even possible to get pregnant if you take the pills as directed (daily) but extremely unlikely.

    If you don't take them as directed and cannot seem to remember, you should look for another means of birth control such as a patch or an implant. You can take a morning after pill every time you forget but that's not a very good plan if you do this often. You need something that isn't going to inject drama into your life every month.

    What's causing you to forget to take the pills? Maybe we can help you trouble shoot.

    EDIT: I see you are trying to get pregnant "accidentally." Is this so you can move out of your parents' house? Why do you need to be pregnant to do that?

    I have not read all your threads, but if you have a job, find a small cheap place to live and start learning adult skills and independence. That should keep you busy until your boyfriend is ready to get married and start a family. Please don't force this on him! It would not be good for a child, your relationship, your boyfriend or you.
