Likelihood of accidentally getting pregnant from this?

I don't think it's very likely at all you will be pregnant. Normally you'd be considered protected if you take 21 in a row and then have a break for 7 days.

You say that you only have a break every three months, and you're due one. So you must have taken many more than 21 in a row if you've otherwise been taking them correctly.

If that's the case, what I would have done would be to take my 7 day break slightly earlier than planned, starting with the two missed days.

Given that you had a two day break then started again, I would now make sure you take at least one full pack in a row before having another break.

Although it has to be said that carelessly “forgetting” to withdraw is a lot less excusable and a lot more reckless than missing the odd pill.

Honestly don’t pay any attention. The crap you are getting is totally unwarranted.

Yes! That is exactly the point I just made. 🤦🏼‍♀️

For the last time:

We were discussing whether men should take responsibility for contraception, or whether they were justified in leaving it all to women and then blaming women for getting pregnant .

I said that men should take responsibility, and suggested some options available to them and within their control.

Withdrawal is effective if men withdraw. Men are perfectly capable of withdrawing if they choose too. If a man doesn’t want to get a woman pregnant he could consider withdrawal as an option. Wearing a condom is another option.

Not exactly sure what you are looking for with your post as no ones going to be able to give you a probability of you having fallen pregnant.

HOWEVER, as far as I remember the combined pill stops ovulation which normally happens on around pill 12-16 of your strip, so if you've them correctly up till after that then technically there should not be an egg there to fertilise. Obviously there are always outliers and its not 100% effective so if you really are that concerned about potentially being pregnant you're going to need to get your big girl pants on and get the MAP and just deal with the negative reaction you get from it.

My pettiness is infinite. Here you go...

So WTF is the big drama then, @hereforthefood

You might be pregnant, but you can’t be - because you don’t get pregnant from missed pills.

But even if you are, your boyfriend doesn’t care, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

FML, it must be exhausting being you.

They are able to do it, they just choose not to because they are careless.

Exactly the same could be said about women who don't take their pill as instructed. Oh the irony! 😂

This argument doesn’t make any sense.

I’m saying don’t rely on withdrawal - because it’s ineffective.

And to the OP - if you know you’ve forgotten to take your pill, use condoms.

So consistent messaging to both sexes.

Unlike you, switching back and forth from -

‘Withdrawal is effective and you won’t get pregnant’…

… to …

‘I’m only suggesting it to men, because it’s obviously not that effective or reliable’.

You seem to be getting very confused.

It is though, as I have demonstrated in several ways through logical reasoning. Simply stating that it isn’t a conversation about misogyny (with the addition of a passive aggressive emoji) really does little to support your argument.
I don’t recall anywhere OP saying she was planning to not to tell her partner- I think that’s another assumption you’ve conjured up in service of your sexism. But maybe I’ve missed something- it’s possible.
(Also calling a woman a “selfish cow” is highly misogynistic).

They are able to do it, they just choose not to because they are careless.
And society doesn’t hold them responsible for that apparently.
But heaven forbid a woman forgets her pill once in a while (which also happens ALL the time by the way- so according to your logic, that makes it difficult for women to take the pill reliably right?)

Stop trying to twist this into a misogyny discussion. It isn't :)

If you miss a few pills and don't immediately tell your partner who you have previously agreed with that you would handle contraception and instead proceed to continue to have unprotected sex with him then you are a selfish cow. There.

Yes- its because they choose not to pull out.

I think a small minority of men are indeed trying to get women pregnant- yes.
but for the vast majority, it is just carelessness/ lack of focus on the consequences.

the double standards on this thread are appalling.
As soon as someone suggests men should take some responsibility for where they put their dick, it’s “oh poor men, they can’t possibly be expected to do that, their biological urges and all”, and “HOW absurd to think that all those men who accidentally don’t pull out might be even be responsible for their actions. What a notion! am I suggesting they might deliberately be trying to baby-trap a woman- what (male) person would do that!”

Yet, a woman forgets to take a couple of pills, and it’s - “HOW DARE SHE, her poor unsuspecting partner, what a manipulative liar she is , deliberately trying to deceive her partner into getting pregnant…”

I took loads of chances and never got pregnant. Until I did. It only takes one. Stop bitching at people here and sort your contraception out.

people aren’t being judgey, they’re extrapolating from what you’ve said.

Except it IS difficult, because so many of them don’t seem able to do it….?

And the result is: pregnancy!

Not a risk many women want to take.

Stop posting irresponsible guff on the internet.

it’s really not remotely difficult for a man to pull out if he wants/ chooses to.

so what you're saying is that for the 22% of couples who get pregnant it's simply because the men chose not to pull out? Were they trying to baby trap the women then? If it's so easy to do, why are men so very bad at it? Do explain...

Amen.

Also "abstinence isn't an option"

OMG!

I’m not recommending it to women!!

I’m recommending it to men if they want to avoid getting a woman pregnant.

it’s really not remotely difficult for a man to pull out if he wants/ chooses to.

NO the failure rate is because people don’t pull out- pp say this on their website. It’s nothing to do with tracking your cycle. If you don’t pull out of course you are likely to get pregnant.

And how exactly do you propose a woman might ensure her partner is the rare specimen who has perfect pull out technique every single time, genius?

It's a method where the woman relinquishes all control and places full trust is a man's ability to control a very strong physiological urge.

You seriously think it's a good idea to recommend it to people?

Yes, you do need to track your cycle, if you don’t want to get pregnant - so as to avoid having sex at your fertile time.

As @RandomMusings7 has indicated - the failure rate (probably all the people not tracking their cycle and not withdrawing on time!) is very high.

Significantly higher than other methods of (actual) contraception.

That’s only because people don’t actually pull out.
