Missed 1st wk of BCP--pregnant?
Fri, 10-03-2003 - 12:28pm
This past month I forgot to take the first week of BCP's--and had sex four days after I was supposed to start the new pack. Does anyone know what the chances are of pregnancy?

I've heard that once you miss the first couple of days of the pack, you immediately begin to ovulate. . .and that sex within that first-week window is prime for pg. Any info or reflections would be appreciated. In the meantime, I've discontinued the BCP in case I'm pg!

Already have two children, would love to have another, although obviously we weren't "trying."
