Can i get pregnant during the time of missing few Falmina pills?
Patient: I missed 5 days in a row in the first week of falmina. I had unprotected sex during the time the pills were missed. No other forms on contraceptive was used. I have been on the pill for 6 years. What are the chances I could have become pregnant during the time the pills were missed? Doctor: Hello there,Thank you for the question.Oral contraceptive pills like Falmina work efficiently when taken correctly. If you miss more than 2 doses of these pills in a month then their efficiency goes down considerably. Now that you have missed 5 doses of the pill that too in the first week they are completely inefficient and there is a good chance that you could get pregnant from the intercourse during that period. Although in the first week after a period it is the safe period and so it is less likely but the chance cannot be denied. So if you miss your period by 2-3 days then please get a urine pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant. Try not to miss more than 2 doses in a month and if you do always use alternative forms of contraception. If you miss a dose take it immediately when you remember or take it next day with that day's pill. Hope this helps.Take care.
