If you miss a birth control pill but double up the next day, could I have a greater risk of getting pregnant?

I missed a pill one night, my boyfriend %26amp; I had sex but I doubled up the next day. Then later that night, had sex again forgot the pill then double up the day after that. I didn't have them with me that's why I didn't take them. But does anyone know if I could get pregnant during that time??If you miss a birth control pill but double up the next day, could I have a greater risk of getting pregnant?
it does increase the risk, but i think you're fine. you only really have to worry if you miss 3 pills in a row then you should use another backup form of protection. good luckIf you miss a birth control pill but double up the next day, could I have a greater risk of getting pregnant?
There is always a chance of pregnancy if your on the pill or not. I got pregnant on the pill without missing any. Just keep them in your purse or something you always have with you so you don't forget. Set a time on your cell phone ( if you have one) to remind you to take it at the same time every day.
There might be a small chance, but not likely. I did this all the time before my husband and I were married, but nothing ever came of it. I wouldn't make a habit of it though. It really messes with your hormones and your period!
Your risk is slightly increased, yes. Esp. since you missed two pills in two days.
Yes, your chances are greater of getting pregnant whenever you don't take them exactly as recommended. That's one of the ways people get pregnant while taking the pill. Most of the literature recommends taking them at the same time everyday and sites that they are less affective if you do not. Logic alone tells me that if taking them at a different time decreases their efficacy, missing a day here and there definitely would.


I always kept my pills next to my toothbrush and took it at bedtime This way when I reached for my toothbrush to brush my teeth I was reminded to take the pill.


This is a quote from this link that pertains

';What if I forget?


It is extremely important that a woman take the pill everyday, but mistakes happen. If a woman misses one pill she should take the pill immediately when she remembers, and then take the next pill at the scheduled time. If she misses two pills in a row she should take two pills as soon as she remembers, and then take two pills the next day again. After this she should return to the regular schedule. In this case she should use a backup method of contraception for 7 days after the missed pills. If she misses three pills in a row she will probably begin her period. If this is the case or not, she should throw away the rest of her pack, and begin the next pack as if she had never been on the pill. For example, a Sunday starter would start the new pack the next Sunday. She should use backup contraception util she has been back on the pill for 7 days. ';
That's dangerous, don't overdose! You should wait awhile steady on The Pill then it should be OK.
