Then you will be fertile again. All it takes is to miss one pill or be late taking it.
Of 100 couples who stopped the birth control pill, 85 will experience a pregnancy within one year if they don't start using another method of pregnancy prevention.
Start your new pack a day earlier so that you don't go more than seven days without an active pill.
It depends on what pill you are using, you can get pregnant from missing just one of the "mini pills" others you would have to miss 3 or 4 -
If you miss a pill take 2 the next day. One pill doesn't matter that much in a long run. It is when you miss several days that you have a problem. Start taking your pill the same time every day and you are less likely to forget.
One of the ways that the birth control pill works is to thicken the cervical mucus to reduce the ability of sperm to get through. As a result of this change, as well as the reduction/prevention of ovulation, a woman on the birth control pill would not normally experience fertile cervical mucus (spinnbarkeit).
The pill is not as effective if you are not consistant with taking the pill. You have a chance of getting pregnant, but no one here can give you a percentage. It is best to continue taking the pill until you know for sure if you are pregnant.
It sounds like the prescription is for two different tablets - that are to be taken 'in tandem'. One to be taken one day, and the other - the next day. For example - you have two medications. One is a blue pill & one is yellow. The instruction 'alternate daily' means you take a Blue pill on days 1, 3, 5, 7 etc - and a Yellow pill on days 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.
One or two days....three tops.
you have a good chance
If you take the pill only after you have intercourse the pill will have no effect!! only if you take the pill how it is instructed and daily at the same time every day then will it work! one slip up and it could course you a problem.
