Likelihood of accidentally getting pregnant from this?

Can you get a Mirena Coil fitted at a local GUM clinic? Would help this situation and mean you didn't have to remember to take a pill in future. I had one for five years before I had kids and it worked well for me. Hurt going in but wasn't so bad as to be worse than an unwanted pregnancy.

Um no

yes I do have much better things to do, but thought it was worth stepping in and being a voice opposing some deeply misogynistic bullying.

OP didn’t ask for opinions on whether she was manipulating/ deceiving her boyfriend. She asked a simple question about the likelihood of pregnancy given some missed pills. The vast majority of “opinions” on this thread were completely unsolicited/ uncalled for.

I’m glad to hear you are teaching your DS he is responsible for his own reproductive choices (should be obvious but sadly doesn’t seem to be) although I’m sorry/ disturbed to hear your message is cloaked in a misogynist narrative about how “a significant cohort of women can’t be trusted”.

And you are basically saying no man should ever trust a women to tell the truth when it comes to contraception. His default position should be to assume she’s inept, at best; lying, at worst.

Haven’t you got anything better to do, @Tandora ?!

This is a public forum - the OP has sought opinions. You’re giving yours, everyone else is giving theirs. The OP has asked - just FYI as a quick reminder for you.

Quite why she has posted - I have no idea, as it’s seemingly impossible for her to get pregnant from a few missed pills. Why be so bothered to ask, if she can’t possibly be pregnant?

N.B. The most obvious answer to this is that she knows full well there’s a chance she could be pregnant.

And yes, I’m absolutely judging her for allowing her partner to trust her when she says she has the contraception covered.

And go back to the beginning of the thread where I said this is exactly why I’ll be telling my DS to always be 100% in control of his own contraception - because clearly there’s a significant cohort of women who cannot be trusted. And if he doesn’t want to be a father, that’s on him.

Literally none of your business what OP and her partner have discussed regarding pregnancy or anything else.

Are you a male rights activist? Here to defend all those unsuspecting, helpless male victims out there from the manipulative women in their lives trying to entrap them into having a baby. Surely you have something better to do with your time.

I’m sure OP’s partner is more than capable of managing his own life , without your benevolent assistance. (For example he could consider wearing a condom).

Again- Absolutely no need for this at all. OP and her partners reproductive choices have nothing to do with you and no one asked for your unpleasant opinion.
OP asked whether she could get pregnant from missing a couple of pills.

Again no need for
your horrible judgement/ analysis.

I actually wouldn't mind being pregnant
Yes. That's pretty obvious.

Just to let you know @hereforthefood in case it's not clear

1. I'm glad you have more pills but you still need to use condoms for 7 more days so the levels of the hormones have time to build up in your body
2. a bleed after stopping pills doesn't mean you aren't pregnant, it's created by a drop in the hormones of the combined pill eg a fake period not a real one.

I'd recommend: take the pills religiously from now, use condoms for the next week, test in 2 weeks to ensure you aren't pregnant

So you’ve explained to him that you’re not using your contraception adequately? That you’re routinely missing pills and running the risk of pregnancy?

You’ve been open, honest and transparent with him about something you’re doing that could have life-changing consequences?

Is he currently trusting you to take the pill properly?

Or are you just keeping nice and quiet and only planning to tell him if/when you get pregnant?

Anybody got any advice they can give me?

Grow up.

OP I think what lots of people are trying to say is that this 'I'm sure it'll be fine' is just an attitude of optimism, or optimism bias. It might be fine. Equally, it might not be fine. Your optimism doesn't actually predict the outcome, but it does make you more likely to go on being a bit careless. People are merely trying to say maybe that's not such a great idea.

OP I missed ONE dose of the combined pill, my daughter is about to turn 3 😅

So yes, maybe just keep an eye, and either get more pills or use condoms for now. It's unlikely but of course can and does happen!

But it's not just "missing 2 pills" - it's (from first post): "I missed 2 days of my pill, took 2 days as normal, and am now effectively taking my 7 day break 2 days early as I can't get ahold of any more at this moment. I have also been having very regular, unprotected sex consistently throughout this whole chain of events."

You can buy the pill from Superdrug doctor, possibly other similar services.

Ignore the judgey aholes! Appears to be loads of them on here. I've had to deal with a few 🙄

From reading this you don't sound at all that you want to trap your partner with pregnancy. Just wanting honest non judgemental advice. I think you'll be fine from missing 2 pills. Hope you're okay x

And if you read her other threads it becomes quite obvious she is desperate for a baby.

But the OP clearly states that she wouldn't mind being pregnant but has only been dating new BF for three months. Doesn't sound like a discussion has been had between in which he's stated he'd be open to a pregnancy. Does he even know that he's been having 'lots of unprotected sex' since she forgot to take contraception or take MAP? Although, of course, he's an adult who should be taking responsibility for his own actions and should be wearing condoms anyway. So early in a relationship, I would not be trusting a virtual stranger who says they are taking precautions.
And OP, if you want to stop people commenting on your thread, having opinions etc, I'd suggest you ask for it to be taken down instead of being downright rude and defensive to everyone who has bothered to try give you sound (obvious) advice.
