Can someone please help me... I normally take my birthcontrol everyday but the other day I forgot to take it and I had sex with my boyfriend anyways. I took the pill the day before and the day after. Is there a chance that I could be pregnant?? If there is, is it bad for me to keep taking the pill?? Please leave me a reply if you have any advice...thanks SO much!

Keep taking your pills on schedule for now....it used to be that you didn't need to use backup unless you missed new pills, but FDA labeling has just changed to advise use of a backup method for seven days following any missed pills.
