Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550600 Tue, 17 May 2016 14:26:34 +0000 psw27 2550600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry too much, just follow the recommendations of the pharmacist/packet insert and be careful the rest of the month. The pill prevents ovulation, so I think it would be unlikely that you ovulated immediately just because you missed a pill. (I'm not a pharmacist though!) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550532 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:09:28 +0000 youboots 2550532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about it in depth and are going to skip plan B. Which is scary since I had egg white cm this am. If this is ment to be our second then it feels fated. Originally we were going to do a 2 year gap but I had a rough pregnancy and delivery. Eek </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550321 Tue, 17 May 2016 10:59:40 +0000 LindsayLou 2550321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with previous posters, plan b would be a good option if you're absolutely not ready for another baby. I took plan b once, years ago, when my now husband and I were still dating, had a birth control failure, and were not ready for a baby. It was no big deal and I'm glad I took it just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550235 Tue, 17 May 2016 09:57:00 +0000 MrsKoala 2550235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's a possibility but I'd guess it isn't that probable. If you really don't want to be pregnant right now, Plan B would be a good idea just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550160 Tue, 17 May 2016 09:02:11 +0000 Umbreon 2550160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry. Read the packet and see if you need to double up on the pills for a couple days. Sometimes it suggests you just start your new pack right away.</p> <p>I had missed two pills now and then with no issues. I once missed three pills and AF came shortly after.</p> <p>Follow the directions on the package and use a backup method until next cycle. I think you'll be fine though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550155 Tue, 17 May 2016 08:59:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2550155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was gonna come in and say plan b too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550142 Tue, 17 May 2016 08:48:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 2550142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Truth Bombs - I'd take Plan B. This is exactly what it is for, so that you can remain in control about your reproductive timeline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550126 Tue, 17 May 2016 08:34:39 +0000 kes18 2550126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would follow the insert directions to be safe. Personally, I semi-regularly would miss 2 pills and I never got pregnant (and I get pregnant easily). I always double or tripled up once I got back. I wouldn't say that is the safest though, following the directions is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550078 Tue, 17 May 2016 07:36:30 +0000 littlebug 2550078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: It's definitely possible, so I'd be picking up Plan B along with my BC pills, if I were you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550006 Mon, 16 May 2016 22:50:06 +0000 QBbride 2550006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: yikes! If you're on day 10, it's definitely a possibility. If you are reallllly not wanting another baby right now, I'd consider taking Plan B. I don't know where you are, but in Canada it's not available without a Rx. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2550002 Mon, 16 May 2016 22:27:28 +0000 sapphire 2550002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This chart from Planned Parenthood is accurate and well done. Go down to "combination pills" and "what do I do if I miss a pill." </p> <p>You could get pregnant. Hopefully not! Definitely use a back up method for the next week. </p> <p><a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/birth-control-pill" rel="nofollow">https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/birth-control-pill</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-about-getting-pregnant-birth-control-fail#post-2549998 Mon, 16 May 2016 21:53:31 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2549998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I was so horrible at the pill!

We are out of town. Took my pill yesterday before we left. DTD last night. Could not find my pills this am. I was able to finally figure out to get more pills at a nearby pharmacy tomorrow afternoon. So 2 days without pills. Should I take 2? Is there the smallest chance I could get pregnant? I'm freaking out a little. </p>
