    Missed birth control pills
    I missed 2 days of my birth control and took a pill today at the regular time I always do. Today I noticed a lot of bleeding down there but I finished my period 2 weeks ago, I have had sex 1 week ago. Is the bleeding cause I missed my pills or could it be cause I may be pregnant.. I need an answer fast I'm away and am not able to talk to my doctor.

    Most likely it is breakthrough bleeding because you are not taking the pill as prescribed. However, there is no form of birth control that is 100% effective even if taken properly.

    I always wondered about that. When I was pregnant with my 4th I was taking birth control irregularly. I was 2 months pregnant and spotting a good bit and had no idea I was pregnant.
    Hope it all works out for you, but find out asap if you are pregnant so you stop the birth control if you are.

    Even if you take the pills exactly right, you can still become pregnant. They are not 100 percent effective.

    But after missing two pills, yes most likely that is the cause for it.

    Remember that the pills have a lot less effect for the rest of the month, so use additional protection if you were to have sex at this point
