If you missed 5 days of the pill,

double up to catch up to where are you are suppose to be and had intercouse in that time frame. What do you think the chances are that I am pregnant? (as a side note I did not spot durning the five days i missed the pill)

Re: If you missed 5 days of the pill,

I think it depends on where you are in the cycle. But I don''t hink the chances of you being pregnant are very high.

I agree, it depends on where you were in your cycle. Are you late?

I thought after 2 missed pills you were suppose to throw the pack away and then start a new pack?

I agree with the girls, it depends where you are in your cycle!

Yes you are.
5 days is a lot to miss. I don't think it matters that you doubled up after that

Yes 5 is alot to miss.
Your cycle is important. Ovulation factors in to the big picture but the window of oportunity is small to get pregnant..I am surprised half the women do considering how this whole pregnancy depends on itming.

Re: If you missed 5 days of the pill,

'Technically' if you miss 2 pills, you are supposed to throw the pack away and start a new one. So, the chances are that you could be pregnant. But, there are people not using contraception and TTC yet they're not pregnant yet. So just b/c the you mistook the pack this month, its not a guarantee you're pregnant. I'd take a test before I took anymore pills.

Re: If you missed 5 days of the pill,

I agree 5 days are a lot to miss and depending on where you are in your cycle you might be having to take a test this month. I would look into starting a new pack to get your cycle back on track. And you might want to call your doctor to find out if you should continue to take the pill. You shouldn't take the pill if you think you're pregnant.
