I am on the mini pill (oestrogen only) and
have been on it for 3years.I take it very
carefully & in that time I have missed
it about 10 times which I think is pretty
good.
The mini pill needs to be taken within
three hours of the usual time.I take it at
3pm so if I dont take it by 6pm then it's
classed as late. On friday july 2nd I
took it at 6:30pm so it was late. I took
it properly for the next couple of days
but was late again (7pm) on tuesday 6th
july therefore I have been taking it
properly for 12 days now.
If pills are taken late then you have to
wait for 1 week until its safe to have
intercourse again (if you dont use condoms
that is) my question is when am I
considered 'safe' again since I missed 2
in a week.Any advice would be very very
much appreciated so thanks in advance

Seeing as you didnt actually "miss", that
is not take any that day, of the pills and
you were only late twice, I think then
that you would probably just take the 7
day rule from your last late pill.
So your last late pill was on 6th july,
you should most definately be covered
again 7 days after that date. If you are
really worried, I would just use condoms
till the end of the month, to be super
safe, but id say you are ok.
