[amywock]

Hi can anyone help me.
Im currently on holiday in budapest. I always carry my pill packet in my phone case incase i forget to take it.. anyways
I lost it the other night.

Me and my bf had sex and he didn't pull out.. but the next day i took the pill then lost it out of my phone case.

Will i come on?
Am i still protected of pregnancy?

Worried!!!

I'm not sure I'm understanding exactly what happened with your birth control pills.

Can you tell me what kind of pill you're on, and then if you have missed any completely? If you only took them late, how many pills and how late?

In the meantime, if you lost your pack entirely and can't finish your pill pack until you get home period, I'd suggest two things: one, getting emergency contraception, and then your boyfriend using condoms for any more intercourse you have until you can get back and restart your pills (and when enough time has passed after that).

I'm afraid that only answers one of my questions. To figure out what you might need here, I need you to answer the others, please.

I started a new packet. Im on the combine pill. I took 4 pills the had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. And he never pulled out. So then next day i took my pill.. then we went out and my pill packed dropped out of my purse. Now i have none to take. Plus am on holiday. Xxx

I think I get it now.

I would call your prescribing physician/clinic you get the pill from at home. They may be able to call in a prescription for you, as well as a prescription for emergency contraception, which I'd advise you use.

Then you'll need to be sure some other method -- like condoms -- is used for any intercourse from now until you have been on your next pack (whenever you can get it) for at least one week, but ideally a full cycle.

I have 3 more days here. I wont have time.

Will i come on?

We can't ever predict when or if people will get withdrawal bleeds. No one can. You'll just have to wait and see (though again, I would be sure not to take any more risks while you're away if you don't want to be risking pregnancy).
