Missed 1 day
Posted: 05-25-08 15:37pm

I'm on Minovral for one year now. My period started on May 7 and ended on May 11th. I had sex on May 12 without a condom but took the birth control pill as scheduled that night at 11pm.

However, I forgot to take my birth control pill on May 13. I only found out about the missed pill on May 14 right when I was scheduled to take my pill at night. I only took one birth control pill that night (the May 14th pill) instead of taking both May 13 AND May 14.

I have been using a condom ever since May 13. Can I become pregnant because I only took one pill for one missed day instead of two pills for one missed day?

Thank You in advance

I found the answer to the: "Missed one day of birth control pills but only took one pill instead of two pills"

I called the sex education hotline in my city. The nurse was very helpful. Even though I missed one pill....but only took one pill 24 hours after/the day after...and I used protection ever since..I should not be pregnant.

It is advised that you take your missed pill and yur scheduled pill (therefore 2 pills) on the same day. but if you only took the (one pill) scheduled pill - you will still be okay!

I'm just posting this response for other girls out that who had the same problem as me...because my problem was more complicated than the typical "I missed one day pill...so you just take two" scenario.
