Hi all!! i have a question. last month i was on the pill and forgot to take my last active pill in the pack. i couldn't get into my dr to get of refill on my prescription so i figured i'd just skip this month and start back after i go to the dr on may 9th. after ending my last pack i got my period on 4-17...i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 26th but figured i was safe because it was only day 10 in my cycle. but i noticed that i was showing signs of ovulation late yesterday and today which would be the 12th and 13th days in my cycle, and i normally have a cycle of 30 days. ok, here's my question, does anyone know if missing the last active pill in a pack can cause you to ovulate earlier than normal? i've got a wonderful boyfriend but we've only been together for 3 months. please if anyone has any advice i would really apperciate it. thanks!!!

well... the thing is... you are very fertile on day 10 - 12 of your cycle anyways... and skipping the last active pill from you last pack could have you get a day early... so... technically.. you had sex at about your most fertile time of the month... and generally when you start showing real signs of ovulation... if you had sex within a couple days of it... you can
