Missed one pill. I've been on this form
of contraception for the past four years.
I regularly take my pill continiously for
months on end without a break and I
haven't had a break for the past few
months. But I missed a pill, is there
really a risk I could become pregnant from
unprotected sex after missing just one
little one? I took it 24hours later than
I should of. It is recommended that I use
another form of protection for the next 7
days, but me and my hubby go away tomorrow
for a week. Will I really need to
induldge in condoms? :(

I don't think missing one would do any
harm. I was on the exact form of pill a
couple of years ago and I remember the
nurse telling me that if I miss a pill I
should take it within the next 24 hours
and if I don't, I should leave the rest of
the pack and use condoms for the rest of
the month until my period. However I
became pregnant while taking them, so it
would be best to use condoms as no form of
contraception is 100% accurate anyway
