    I miss my pill for 3 days
    Then I took 2 pills for another 3 days, while all these I had unprotected sex and my boyfriend came inside of me, but I had light bleeding... then I stop taking the pills on week 4... since then I've been feeling light headed , nauseas, and really emotional... could I be pregnant

    You could. Any time you miss your pill for more than one day, You should use a back-up protection. You also could be psyching yourself out! And paying more attention to your body than usual. If your really worried take a pregancy test or see your Dr. Good luck!

    Well.. normally you can miss up to 2 to 3 pills.. and normally on the 3rd pill you really need to take.. but yea.. if you missed one pill you could get pregnant.. but doesn't really happen so fast because the pill have enough to protect getting pregnant for missing just one or two pills.. don't take the pills anymore.. you seem not to keep track with them.. and its important to keep you protected.. I know before I missed pill too.. but however many days you miss.. that's how many pills you take.. don't miss 5 dayz and take 2.. That two is not good enough... so yeah go to the doc and get checked.. but don't get too worried about it because your mind will not set you at ease...

    Wow, this info, if I even understand it is WRONG. You CANNOT miss up to two pills, for the pill to be at it's maximum effectiveness you can't miss 2 hours. The pill must be taken religiously at the same every day to maintain effectiveness. The pill does not have "enough to protect getting preg for missin just one or two pills" this is just dangerous misinformation.

    Very dangerous and unhealthy misinformation yet again.

    Please make a doctor's appointment for a blood pregnancy test. If you find that you are not pregnant you may want to rethink your method of birth control as this does not seem like the right match for you.

    The pill must be taken at the same time every day or it will lose its effectiveness.
