Missed pill

Unread post by snowflake »

Hi. I am on week 2 of my combined pill, and I've missed two pills. I have taken one of them this morning and will take the one for today later this evening. I want to know whether I should double up tomorrow? Will I be back on schedule?

Once you catch up with your pills (taking the last one you missed and the one on the regular schedule) it will take about at least a week to be fully protected again. But, here at Scarleteen we recommend people to wait at least a whole cycle before ditching any kind of barriers used as a back up method.
