Hi Anonymous,
Anytime you have unprotected sex you risk getting pregnant. If you miss birth control and don't use a backup method like condoms or spermicide, or some other form of birth control, you are putting yourself at risk. Sex should be fun and not stressful. Protect yourself ahead of time. Either abstain from intercourse on those days you can't take your birth control, or use a backup method. If you miss pills, you need to use a backup method at least for a week after, or for the rest of your pack of pills. Here is an article I wrote about it, check it out:
