Birth Control Question
Posted: 04-09-04 06:09am

Hey! Im not sure if you can help me with this.. But anyway, im 2 days behind of my birth control.. According to it, it's tuesday... But anyway, my question is.. Is being two days behind the same as missing two days in a row? Or will I be ok to have unprotected sex? Just so you know, i've been on the pill for about 5 months now. (estrostep- 28 day pack)


thanks!

As long as you have not missed any pills you should be okay. You should always use condoms as a backup method if you do not want a baby, but being two days behind is okay as long as you have not missed any. But, I don't see how you can get behind if you haven't missed any.

Then you should use condoms for at least two weeks. And that is if you do not miss any more pills.

When you miss one you must take it as soon as you remember, even if it's the next day, if you've missed 2 you must take both of them as soon as you remember etc. You can't skip pills or take less then the full pack. This is what my doctor told me.
