Missed a Pill!!
Posted: 08-08-06 14:04pm

Hi,

i am on microgynon 30 and took the 1st pill of a new pack 15 hours late. Am I still protected or do I need to use condoms for the next 7 days?

Thanks

To be safe, you should use a back-up for 7 days..

It depends how long you have been on the pill if its atleast 2 months it should be built up in your system. If its the first pack, yes you should use a back up method for 7 days
