Pretty good. You can still take plan b if it is within 5 days.

If you miss a mini pill or are more than 3 hours late, you are unprotected.

personally, I keep plan b around in case I miss a pill, I'm on ortho micronor.

Although I'd like to add that you could have missed that pill any day of the month and been in danger. Your ovulation schedule is NOT normal when you are on pills.

right. The mini pill sometimes prevents ovulation, sometimes doesn't, and you don't really know when it has happened.

Just Go See Your Dr

I have noticed multiple post on this topic you should just go to your dr or public health center dont risk it because continuing with the pills could be bad, or just call and see if you can talk to someone and get expert advice!

on the mini-pill you shouldn't be surprised at all if you period is late, early, or never. Smile Just another wonderful side effect.
