Hi, sorry i'm going to sound very naive
here, but I would really appreciate it if
someone gave me some advice because I
don't know who to ask.
I've been taking the pill (ovysmen) for 3
months, this is my fourth month. I
started taking it on wed, forgot thur,
took it fri, forgot sat, took it every day
until thurs when I forgot again. I know I
sound really stupid, i've never forgotton
before and I had some bad news.
Then I took it as normal the next day, and
had unprotected sex on monday. He didn't
ejaculate, but should I get the morning
after pill anyway? I've just read that
you should take the forgotten pill as soon
as you remember, which I didn't do.
Could someone please give me advice-
should I go to my doctor/family planning
clinic or should I not worry? I'm really
confused and scared. Is it right that the
morning after pill has to be taken within
72 hours of having sex?
Thanks for any help.

The morning after pill should be taken
within 72 hours for maximum efficiency,
but i've heard it can be taken within a
week of having sex. As for your missed
pills, why didn't you take the missed
pills as soon as you were able to? If you
simply skipped those days all together,
then you may be at risk; you may be at
risk even if you took each one the day
after, in a double dose with the correct
pill for the day.

Sorry I didn't know you were meant to do
that, I realised too late. I went to the
doctor this morning anyway and got the
morning after pill, fingers crossed it's
going to work as it was 68 hours
afterwards :s
thank you very much for your reply
