Missed birth control pills....Xpost from main board

Ok.....I realized Monday night that I had missed taking my birth control pills for 3 days. I know it was stupid, but I was sleep deprived and very very stressed out over a major project for college. Im graduating in December, and this class is kicking my a$$. Anyway, I usually keep my Synthroid and my birth control together for this very reason, but with only having about 6 hours of sleep over the weekend, I didnt notice the mistake until Monday night .....after I took a long nap to put my emotions back in check. The problem is, I missed Saturday morning's through Monday's pills, and the hubby and I did the dance very late saturday night, early sunday morning. CRAP! The pharmacist says its too late to take Plan B and wont sell it to me. I asked whether I should throw away the pack and wait for AF or what, and they told me that it is "too late to do anything".....thanks....that doesnt help me at all. I took today's dose just in case, but I cant call my GYNE until this afternoon at the earliest b/c of my professors strict attendence policies. What are my chances of being preggo? This is only my 2nd month on the pill too...and not sure what impact that may have. I was 8 days into my pack when I missed my pills.....

BC pills are not fool proof even when taken correctly for RNY patients. There are absorption issues and 2 forms of BC should be used. So the fact you missed 3 days isn't going to help matters.

I guess it depends on when you ovulate, if it's an issue or not. But really there's nothing you can do but wait and see.

P.S.

Aren't you TTC? Maybe I have you confused with someone else.....but I was sure you and hubby were.

My hubby and i tried for a couple months, and I had a chemical pregnancy. I didnt handle it too well, and so I decided that I wasnt ready to handle the ups and downs of TTC. If it happened, it happened but we stopped 'trying". Although we would really really like to have another child (my first was an accident), right now is just not a good time. So, yes that was me, but we stopped TTC...or at least i did. But thats a whole other issue...

Well, yipes.  Being that your cycle starts on the first day of your period - and you were 8 days into the pack - I'm guessing you were about on day 15 or so.  Hmmm...bad time to skip the pills!  If you are a regular ovulator (28-30 day cycles) then I'd say you did this right around ovulation.  But I could be wrong! 

Good luck.  Hope everything works out the way you want it to!
