Hi, I'm 18 years old and currently on the pill (birth control) for the past 3 or 4 days I've taken them about 2 hours later than I normally would and last night I had unprotected sex and he didn't pull out.. Is there a high chance I could be pregnant?

What sort of birth control pill are you using? A single hormone or combination pill? If progestin only, you have a greater chance of it not being very effective. With a combination pill, 2 hours is not as much of an issue, although it is wise to do your best to take even those on time.

The chance is not high, but there is a chance, likely greater than if you had taken them on time. Set an alarm or use an app for it to help you remember. For even greater protection, have him use a condom as well as you using birth control pills.

It's a single hormone pill and okay thanks so much :)
