Birth Control: Missed Many Pills This Month Still Protected? Posted: 09-26-07 15:15pm
I admit that I have not been real good
about taking my pillsl this month. The
first week i missed two consecutive pills,
started spotting. I took the pills and
the spotting stopped. The second week I
missed one pill. Last week I missed my
pill on Friday, had sex on Saturday night,
and remembered to take my pill on Sunday
morning at 2:00 a.m. (after sex). I again
had sex last night. I've been taking my
pills everday since Sunday, tho. Was I
still protected?

Maybe, Maybe not. You miss one pill and
you have a chance of getting pregnant. But
hopefully you are fine. It's a wait and
see game! It's hard to tell. Sorry it's
not an easy answer.

You can miss one pill in a week, if you
take the pill once you remember (as late
as the next day along with that day's
pill).
If you miss two pills in a week, you
aren't protected until you have taken 7
consecutive pills correctly.

As long as you're on a combo pill. (Which
most are)
