<human>: hi, I recently missed 3 days of my birth control pills. my period stopped 3 days ago. I took my pill a little bit ago. It is a new pack. Wednesday night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sexual intercourse. Should I be worried? and what should I do about taking the rest of my pills?
<bot>: Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Oral contraceptive pills will be effective if it is taken regularly and preferably during the same time in a day. The failure rate may increase if you miss a pill and may result in an unwanted pregnancy you have missed 2 or more contraceptives pills as in your case you have missed 3 days, stop taking contraceptive pills until your next menstrual bleed, then begin a new pack. Use other forms of contraception during this time like condom. If your next period gets delayed, and you suspect pregnancy, do a urine pregnancy test and consult a local doctor if it comes positive for safe termination of pregnancy if you don't want to continue.
