Missed pill help!

Unread post by rachhocking »

Hi guys!
Earlier in this pack I missed a pill, I took it more than 12 hours late. I took emergency contraception as a precaution because I had condo less sex the night before. I took the required amount of pill to be protected again (7). I also extended my active pills so that I have taken 21 in a row at the correct time. Now I'm just wondering if I'm protected on my break week?
Thanks!

Hi rachhocking,

The best person to direct this question to is the person who proscribed you the pill. In the meantime, if you are worried about your pill still being compromised, you'll want to back-up with condoms (we actually recommend that anyway even if no pills have been compromised, as it ups your protection levels)
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
