"I forgot to take my contraceptive pill in the second week and had unprotected sex. Is it risky?"

It is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional if you forget to take your contraceptive pill. It is recommended to take one pill as soon as possible, discard any missed pills, and continue taking one pill daily until you finish the pack. It is also advised to start a new pack without taking a break. This should help reduce the risk of pregnancy.
