odds of pregnancy?
Category: Baby Patterns
To start of with I am on Yasmin and have a horrible sleeping pattern so I do not always take my pills on time (I know stupid). But last week I took my pill about about 2-5 hours late and one day forgot to take it at all until 5am the next morning… so i took it then and took my other one at the time I am supposed to be… last friday my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex (and no i dont need any lecture on it, him and i are 100% monogamous and are both disease-free). All of this week I made sure to take my pill on time or atleast close (maybe an hour off) except for today I forgot and took it 11 hours late… what are my chances that I could be pregnant if any at all? If I am, do not worry there will be no abortion or adoption, he already has a two year old with his ex whom he and i love to death, so no matter how hard it would be to raise another baby in our situation we would do it.
They say that any time you forget to take your pill that there is a chance of getting pregnant. I am not a professional, but I would think that the chances are very small. I really wouldn’t worry about it unless a time came to actually worry about it (missing my period or something). I hope I helped. Good luck!
Hey,
All pills work similarly in that the pill you take on day 1 has the effect on day 6/7/8. That is why when you start a new pack you take it on the first day of your period, so it is working by the time you are finished. Yasmin it a combined pill I think so should work the same way.
So, for any risk of preganancy you would be relying on the pills you took about a week before.
While taking pills at all different times isn’t recommended, most doctors say that it isn’t missing 1 pill that matters, it’s when you miss 2 or more in a row, so that your body actually dips its levels of the hormones protecting you from pregnancy significantly enough to allow you to get pregnant.
The pill also works by sometimes stopping you ovulating, so if you haven’t ovulated you can’t get pregnant.
From what you have said, I think there a bigger chance that you are not pregnant. Wait 2 weeks then take a test – a lot of early pregnancy signs are similar to like your period is on its way (sore boobs, feeling bloated, tired) which is a pain cos you don’t know.
Best of luck, hope you get the result you wanted. And if it helps, when I was a student and up at all times I had the same problem – I was out and my pill was at home when I wanted to take it. I started carrying it with me all the time and set a reminder in my phone – seemed to work for me.
Good luck!
don’t worry too much, as long as you do not see signs of it, don’t panic. Don’t over think about it too, you’ll cause yourself too much stress. =)
As long as you have your period you’re good or if your breasts aren’t that swollen, you’re also good. there are many symptoms so just check them out,.
Only the Lord knows the answer to your question for sure. in the future stick to oral sex. Its guaranteed that you won’t get pregnant.
