I'm worried about being pregnant. Although I've been on the pill for nearly 10 months, I took it about 8 hours late on Wednesday.. I ended up having sex on Thursday, as well. I think I'm worrying myself sick, but I really am scared.. What do you think my chances are?

Dear Allison,

Being a few hours late will probably not cause you to ovulate - which needs to happen in order for you to get pregnant. That being said, realize that the ONLY 100% effective b/c is abstinence. Anytime you have sex, you risk getting pregnant. The "chances" of that are subject to a varity of factors - so there's not really an honest way to say something like there's a 40% chance or whatever.

You stated that you are worrying yourself sick, and that you are scared - obciously you don't want to stay in that state of anxiety. So, please, please reconsider being sexually active at this point in your life.

Hugs,
Kris
