I have been taken the pill microgynon 50
for almost 3 months. As I was going away
to a festival a couple of weeks ago I
decided to just continue with the next
pack of pills so that I wouldn't have a
period. Halfway through the week that
should have been my 7 day off time, I left
the pills at home when I went to the
festival for four days. I thought since I
would have taken enough pills to still be
protected if I continued to not take them
and count this week as my week off, I
decided to do that. Then I proceeded to
take the rest of this pack as normal. Is
this safe? And should I take the next
pack without a break.. I really wish I
hadn't confused myself like this, i'm 19
and at college and the last thing my
fiance and I need right now is to become
pregnant. If anyone has any advice, I
would really appreciate it! Thanks xxx

I haven't been on the pill for a number of
years now, but will see if I can help.
I used to take two months of pills without
a break (as I hated getting periods) and
understand that you can do this, although
I used to get really low if I didn't take
a break. As far as I understand, as you
haven't taken the pill as directed there
is a possibility that the contraception
will have lessened or stopped. I would
book an appointment with your doctor to
discuss this. If you have had
unprotected sex since you last took the
pill as prescribed, I would speak with
your doctor about possibly taking a
pregnancy test.
I hope that this helps and that you get
the answer you want.
Good luck
