I ve been on birth control for 6 months, I missed one pill in the second week but made it up the next day with my next pill , later had unprotected sex but no ejaculation in the vaginal canal, I know missing a pill can increase chance of pregnancy and pull out method isn t the best , but am I still protected
Hi, Since you have been taking birth control pills for 6 months and have missed just 1 pill, which you took the very next day. You are safe. The failure rate of combined oral contraceptive (estrogen with progesterone) is very low at 0.003%. I am assuming that you are taking the combined pill here. But they are very, very effective, and you can be sure that you are protected. Hope this helps. Regards.
