I forgot to take one of my birth control pills last week, and I've had sexual intercourse since then.

If you forgot to take one of your contraceptive pills last week and had unprotected sex, you may not be at risk of pregnancy if you were in your second week of pills. It is important to take the missed pill as soon as you remember, continue with the pack without any hormone-free break for this cycle, and consider the missed day as your "week off." It is advisable to follow these steps to minimize the risk of pregnancy.
