Missing the Pill Posted: 07-30-06 19:26pm


I have been on the pill for 3 months now. Recently, I forgot to take one pill and on that same day I had unportected sex. The next day, I realized I forgot to take yesterdays pill and I took it along with the one for that day. Its been about two weeks since then and I havent forgotten to take a pill, but becasue of the day I forgot, could I still get/be pregnant? How many times do I have to forget to take the pill in order to be worried? Thank you for you help.

Missing one pill then doubling up the next day is what you are supposed to do, so you did do the right thing! With most pills you are still protected if you only miss one pill, and you double up the next day, so you most likely are protected. What brand are you on??
