What is the risk of getting pregnant if I had intercourse 6 days after skipping the first week pill?
On Saturday I took the first tablet from the new package. After an hour I started vomiting and forgot to take the tablet from the emergency package as soon as possible. The next day I took the second tablet from the package at a regular time and the same the following days. A week before the first tablet there was no intercourse, and after 6 days after the forgotten tablet there was intercourse. The tablets I take are Vibin mini. What is the risk of a hare in pregnancy?

Protection will already be maintained. Ovulation may occur on the 7th day, but then other mechanisms of action of the tablet, e.g. thickening of cervical mucus, protect against pregnancy. From the 8th day, no security is needed.
If you skip the tablet in 1 week, you need to use additional protection for a week. Does this mean that on the 8th day contraceptive protection will already be maintained? Can ovulation occur on the 7th day after skipping?

With short cycles, skipping one tablet may restore the physiological menstrual cycle in some patients, because this situation will cause that for 7 days the patient does not have contraceptive protection, the pill does not protect - during this time ovulation may occur. If the patient has additionally had intercourse before, and the sperm can survive up to 5 days, there is a risk of fertilization.
Thank you for your reply. But there is one more thing that bothers me. Since during a normal cycle, without taking pills, theoretically there are only 4 possible days in which you can get pregnant (ovulation), and with contraceptive pills there is no ovulation, which means that fertile days with pills do not occur. So why does skipping one birth control pill carry such a high risk of getting pregnant? Best regards

If, after 6 days after the forgotten contraceptive pill from the first week, you had intercourse without additional protection, then the risk of pregnancy is very high.
