Quick Bc Question
Posted: 09-14-07 08:49am

Hello,
I have a quick question.
I know when you miss two pills or more you aren't protected anymore but...
Do those two days have to be in a row?
Because I missed a pill tues. So I took at as soon as I remembered wed morning, then took my wed pill regulary. Then I took my pill 8 hours late yesterday, which cancels out the affects and is like missing a pill.
Should I now wait two weeks and will my cycle and everything be all messed up?
Thanks :]

Continue taking your pills. They aren't ineffective. Eight hours late does not 'cancel out' the pill.

If you are ever concerned that you may have missed too many pills, you can wait a week or use back up birth control (a condom) for a week.

In my pill packet it says two pills in a week, not in a row. In that case you are supposed to take them when you remember, (which you did) and then use back up for seven days of taking your pills regularly.

It probably won't mess up your cycle, though, unless you're really sensitive to it.
