Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for a few months, and we have been having sex. However, we don't want a child yet. He often forgets to use a condom during sex. So, I have to take birth control pills. I've been too busy these last couple of days and forgot to take them. I don't know if I might be pregnant. That's why I want to ask what happens if you miss taking long-acting birth control pills for 2 days?Doctor's answer:
If you miss taking birth control pills, this can easily lead to contraceptive failure, increasing the possibility of pregnancy. However, if pregnancy occurs, it cannot be confirmed at the moment, so you will need to carefully observe your menstrual cycle. If it doesn't arrive by then, you should pay close attention and conduct a thorough check. If it is confirmed that you are pregnant, it cannot be preserved either, because taking birth control pills may affect the development and growth of the embryo.
