Likelihood of accidentally getting pregnant from this?

[hereforthefood]

So I'm on the combined pill and have been for a few months now.

I was visiting family with my bf over the weekend and spent Friday and Saturday getting very drunk and staying up until 5am both nights. I had unprotected sex leading up to, and including, Friday and Saturday.

Now I usually take my pill just before bed so, as you can probably imagine, I ended up forgetting to take it on those days. When I realised on Sunday I didn't take either Friday or Saturday's pill, I just took Sunday's and made a mental note to keep an eye on things just in case.

The two pills I missed were in the last week of my pack, I believe I had about 4 days left until I was meant to take a break. I don't usually take breaks (once every 3 months, any longer and I start getting breakthrough bleeding mid-pack), but this month does happen to be break month.

I've now encountered some unfortunate circumstances; I have left the rest of my pills at my bf's house and neither of us are able to go get them for a number of days, I don't have any more pill packets to hand, and I am unable to get anymore until I have an appointment with a doctor (recently moved, no current GP and impossible to go to a walk-in clinic).

All this to say, 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.

I wouldn't consider myself super fertile (have missed loads of pills in past years and never gotten pregnant, plus I have suspected PCOS) but I'm worried that having this break so soon after missing 2 pills in a row and potentially not having any to start taking come the end of my break may stir my ovaries into unwanted action.

Anybody got any advice they can give me?

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?)

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).

So either my account is lying to me, or that search also includes posts I've commented on. Take a guess which is more likely to be correct🙄

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.

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! 😂

Thank you Tandora! My bf has been aware I missed my pills the moment I was, because he was literally in the room and I mentioned it to him when I realised.

All these women thinking I'm being secretive to him are being ridiculous!

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.

My pettiness is infinite. Here you go...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
