Hello. I'm 21. I have been using birth control pills for over half a year. Recently I missed the sixth pill in a blister. It's been about 15 hours since I missed it. I've been having intermittent intercourse with my boyfriend for 4 days, but there was a nagging pain in the left ovary. Recently, I was also sick and coughing a lot, I noticed that, especially after coughing, the ovary stings me painfully. Is there a risk of getting pregnant? And can ovarian pain be related to skipping the pill?
Yes, there could have been ovulation, and due to the fact that you had intercourse - also to conception, even though the intercourse was interrupted.
