It's actually impossible to know when anyone ovulates, whether they have PCOS or not, without that person having tracked her cervical mucus and basal body temperatures daily for several months. However, what you're describing with your girlfriend's birth control pill still doesn't necessarily mean that it would have failed. For future reference, you can let your girlfriend know that it's important to take a missed pill as soon as she remembers it, then take the next pill when she normally would take it. If she doesn't remember until she goes to take that next pill, she should take both at once. Here's some more information on birth control pills: [b][URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advice/three_questions_about_taking_the_birth_control_pill_and_plenty_of_answers]Three questions about taking the birth control pill (and plenty of answers)[/URL][/b] The risk you're describing is not high. At this point though, you'll both just need to wait and see if she gets her withdrawal bleed (which is what a period is called when someone is taking hormonal birth control) and go from there. If she does not get her withdrawl bleed, she can then take a pregnancy test and we can go from there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
