Let’s say someone starts taking the pill on the 11th day of their cycle and they usually ovulate on the 13th or 14th. If they have sex on the 13th, 14th and 15th day but are still taking the birth control pill they starting on the 11th day, is it safe to say the chances of getting pregnant are slim? I know nothing is 100% but the likelihood. What do you think?
Chances of getting pregnant are actually pretty high, almost as much as they would be if you weren’t using any birth control. Read the information packet that came with your pills, it will say that you need to use backup birth control for the first 7 days as you could become pregnant. The pill is more like an anti-biotic… you have to take the full dose for it to be effective and it doesn’t always provide full coverage right away.
Also, remember that the pill will not protect you against STDs. If you’re with more than one partner or you and/or your partner has a sexual past, it’s wise to still use a condom to protect yourself.
The chance of getting pregnant at that point is almost the same as without birth control. Use a backup method until you’ve taken one full cycle
The pill is most effect if taken on the first day of starting your period.
If taking mid cycle or any other time you have to use protection for at least 7 days to be on the safe side
Therefore there is a slight risk of pregnancy on what you have said
The birth control will mess up that cycle you were in the middle of. You are supposed to start, usually, the Sunday after your period starts. Or when the doctor tells you. But, in most brands, you need to use another form of bc for 7 days. I would say the chances would be the same as if you hadn’t taken anything at all. The pills wouldn’t have stopped the ovulation due 2 days later.
