Late Birth Control Pill Panic Posted: 12-30-04 14:40pm
I'm in a bit of a panic. I took the third
last of my active pills about 9 hours
late. I followed the instructions and
took it as soon as I remembered and then
continued on with the rest of my pills. I
finished the pills 3 days later and had my
period as normal the following week. The
day after I finished my period I had
unprotected contact with my boyfriend (we
used a condom, but did have some contact
before the condom). I am worried that the
missed pill would have altered my
ovulation cycle for my next preiod, and
that having sex a week after missing my
pill may have been a mistake. Could
someone please give me some advice, or try
to calm me down, bacuse as the days go by
i'm starting to freak out even more.
Thank you

Hi! Umm I would think that you would be
ok.. As they warn you to use protection
the day that you forget your pill right?
And assuming you continued your next pack
of pills, then you'd be fine. But perhaps
u should consult your doctor just to make
sure!

Thanks for your response...Just to clear
things up, I took the late pill as soon as
I remembered and then took the last 2
pills in the pack as scheduled. Then I
did the week of sugar pills (which
happened to be the time of the unprotected
contact), and then I started the new pack
as scheduled. I followed the
instructions that came with the pill and
of the pharmasist, but i'm still in a
panic. Anyone else have advice or
experience? Thanks in advance
