Sprintec Birthcontrol

I missed a blue (active pill) sometime last week and I just realized I missed it so I did not end up taking it at all. How long should I wait to have sex again and am I at risk for getting pregnant if I had sex after missing the blue pill?

I have been on sprintec (21 day pill) for a year. I ran out of refills and was not able to get my prescription until a few days later. As a result, I missed four pills. I took two the first day (Tuesday) and then two the next day(Wednesday). This put me back on schedule. However, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex the following Tuesday. I am now one day late on my period. I know it seems like no big deal but my period had never been off and I still have not yet started. I've been waiting for it and you can imagine my fear. Should I take a pregnancy test or is it normal for my body to react this way to the new pills?
Yes, even missing just one of the active tablets increases your risk of getting pregnant.
You should take them continuously, again, for at least 7 days, before having unprotected sex, for them to reach their effectiveness in the body.

Have you done a pregnancy test, yet?
