Can 28-day contraceptive pills protect me from pregnancy?

Hello, I'm on the 28 day contraceptive pills. I have been taking my pills everyday on time, however yesterday was my 16th day but I took the 21st day pill instead. I am just now realizing so I took the 16th pill that was meant for yesterday along with my 17th day pill for today. I had sexual intercourse yesterday so will the pills still protect me from getting pregnant?

Since an incorre­ct pill was consumed, the possibility of pregnancy has slightly incre­ased. It's crucial to utilize additional protection for the­ next seven days, such as condoms. Continue­ taking your regular pills, but exercise­ heightened caution. If any unusual symptoms like­ nausea or irregular blee­ding occur, please consult a gynecologist

I'm missing my period for two days should I take pregency test

Female | 30

Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

my belly and my vagina hurt

Female | 18

Urinary tract infections often occur when bacteria enter the bladder and vagina. You might feel pain when peeing, experience lower belly pain, and have the urge to pee frequently. It's important to drink plenty of water and avoid holding in your pee. Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to help treat the infection.

I had sex during my period and I took the morning after the following day he ejaculated thrice inside me, this happened during September 6th and 7th. Now it's October my period is 8 days late what should I do?

Female | 20

Late in the occurrence of your period after unprotected sex, it is common to be anxious. In the case of a delay that the period doesn't come, it could be that a person is under stress, hormonal changes happen, or even pregnancy. Pregnancy signs include missed periods, vomiting, breast tenderness, and tiredness. A home pregnancy test can show you if you're pregnant.
