Should I take the Morning After Pill?
Hi.
I'm usually pretty good about taking my birth control (lo lo estrin FE) consistently, but yesterday I forgot to take it. I then had sex that night with my boyfriend a few times (each time, however, he pulled out before finishing) without remembering about my pill. The pill I missed was the last day of the first week in my pill pack. I usually take my pill around 6pm, but after I forgot this, I took the pill I missed today around 3pm and plan to take my pill for today at my normal time.
Do I need to take a Morning After or Plan B pill? Or am I still protected?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that if this is the only pill you miss you are probably fine, since you remembered and corrected the mistake.
You could take the morning after pill, but it would probably be overkill.
Don't forget about condoms too!
Good luck!

Also forgot to mention that we did not use a condom.
