Birth control misshap

Unread post by Ks22 »

I missed one of my birth control pills during the first week of the pack. I fallowed the instructions in the information packet and took as directed. But I had unprotected sex Saturday just days before I am suppos to start my period. Do you think I should take the morning after pill or should I wait it out ?

If you made up the pill you missed, there likely is nothing for Plan B to do your pill has not already done and is not already doing. But really, this is a matter of personal preference based on what you feel best about.
