Agonizing Pill Query
Posted: 08-19-06 01:50am

Hi

(today is saturday in australia)
last friday I missed my pill(day 19 after starting pill 1 on the 1st day of my period), so I had 7 active pills still to go.

However, I had unprotected sex on saturday(yes stupid) but didn't realize I had missed my pill. Continued to take the pill normally. After soon advice(women's health and a pharmasist) I decided to take the morning after pill regardless but that was on tuesday morning.

I am now starting the new packet today and missing my period as advised. When can I test for a pregnancy or am I being ridiculous?

In agony,
thanks,
lozmioz

I don't think it's likely you're pregnant, if you only missed one pill.

Thank you
unfortunately I won't be happy til I see negative.
When is the best day to test? Is it 10 or 14 days after intercourse?

I'm not sure; most tests rate their effectiveness by how soon before a missed period they can work. Try ept. You can test twice if that makes you feel better; 10-24 days after sex, and then a second time, after your period's due date.
