I have been on the pill for 4 years. Just recently I didn't take the pill for two days and yesterday I had sex with my boyfriend. I took two of the birth control pills today. I just want to know if things are going to be okay.

Hi tiny84, welcome!

Missing 2 pills is not a good thing. You should use backup until you have had at least 7 consecutive days of active pill use to reestablish your protection. You are making it difficult for your pills to protect you. Which 2 pills didn't you take? If the missing 2 pills allowed the ovulation process to start it will probably take several days for you to ovulate. If you were not fertile when you had IC then the sperm were probably dead in just a few hours and you may be ok. Be sure to use back-up for at least the next 7 days of active pills.

Good luck,

      Jill
