ive gotten mixed answers on this elsewhere so i figured id ask here

if you're on your period, forget a pill and have sex without anything

is it possible to get pregnant?

If you're on your period, it is very unlikely to get pregnant, but it is a possibility.

In some women, when their period is ending, there is a new egg already waiting to be fertilized.

But again, this is pretty unlikely

if you miss the pill before your 7 day break period, or after and then have sex, then yes you could get pregnant. don't do it

the sugar pills you take during the 7 day break don't matter. it's just to help you time it properly. you should be protected in that time, as long as you took the pill properly beforehand.

It is always possible (but unlikely) to get pregnant on the pill. unless something has changed (I haven't taken them in years) the ones that you take during your period are basically placebos, so I would think if you forgot one during that time, it would be less hazardous than forgetting one at another time of the month.

The pills you take during your period are placebos, right? So missing a placebo makes absolutely no difference. You should be fine.
