Birth Control Pills: Pregnancy Risk with Double Dosing

Taking two birth control pills in one day will not necessarily result in pregnancy. Birth control pills work by preventing ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. They also thicken cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg. If you take two pills in one day, it is unlikely that you will ovulate, but there is still a small chance that you could become pregnant.

It is important to take birth control pills consistently and correctly in order to be effective. If you have any questions or concerns about your birth control, you should talk to your doctor.
