If you forget to take it one day, can you get pregnant if you have sex on that day?

There will always be a few people who get pregnant on the pill, cause it's not 100%, but generally it's a very effective method of contraception. I took mine pretty carelessly at times and still never got pregnant in the whole 12 years, so I would imagine if you took it religiously your chance of pregnancy would be pretty slim indeed.
Oooh, yes, must add that my information is for the COMBINED pill (e.g. Microgynon, Cilest, etc). If you are on the mini-pill, the info may be different.
It's never a bad idea too read through the leaflet, in any case!
^^ This bit scares me!
Probably best to read the leaflet rather than ask me
I know it sounds scary, but really its just about being cool, calm and taking care at this point. Have you missed your period? It may be worth taking a pregnancy test just to see where you stand.
It's fairly unlikely you will be pregnant but it's one of these things you need to get checked and it is far better to know sooner rather than later.
Good luck :thumb:
wow you sound pretty clued up! I am surprised! ha ha :thumb:
sorry just a lil confused..
And I will be sure to tell everyone when I know if I am pregnant or not.
