Had sex, missed birth control pill, had short period. Pregnancy chances?
Patient: I am on birth control and had a normal period on feb 3rd. Had sex feb 23rd and missed my birth control pill on feb 24th but took 2 birth control pills on feb 25th. Period started on march 3rd only lasted till march 5 not normal for me. march 6th no signs of period then march 13th light brown/tanish spotting on toilet paper. Can I be pregnant? Doctor: Hi, Since you took the additional pill, you were protected for the cycle, so chances of pregnancy are almost nil. Also, you had intercourse during the safe period. The spotting you have now could possibly be a pill breakthrough. If you wish to have confirmation, you may take a HPT or a blood test for pregnancy and see your consultant for further care. Take care.
