If I forgot to take my pill and had unprotected sex, am I at risk of getting pregnant?

If you have forgotten to take your birth control pill and had unprotected sex, there is a risk of becoming pregnant. It is important to follow the instructions provided with your birth control pill to maintain its effectiveness. Forgetting a dose, especially in the first week of the pack, can increase the risk of pregnancy. It is also important to seek advice from a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your birth control method.
