Get pregnant while having withdrawal bleed?

Question

Is it possible if I have sex on my inactive pills (and I missed one so my inactive week is one day longer than it should be) before I start bleeding that I can get pregnant even if I still bleed afterward? What happens if I have sex after I stop bleeding but before I get a new pack?

Answer

You should start your new pack on time even if you missed an inactive pill. Going more than the 7 days without an active pill greatly increases your risk of pregnancy.

Answer

You'd be covered in the inactive week, but if you missed a hormone pill, you aren't covered. Missing only one pill can get you pregnant. My son is proof of that.

Answer

Your covered.  Birth control stops you from ovulating the hormones in the pills are designed to let you bleed and still be protected.  No worries.
