Took pill late, had sex
I've been on the pill for about 6 months now, and have never missed a day before. I always take my pill between 7am and 10am (Microgynon 30), but two days ago (Wednesday 19th), I forgot it, and didn't take it until 10pm. I then took it on time the next morning (Thursday), and stayed at my boyfriends house that night, where we had sex twice, and he finished inside me both times. The next morning (Friday), I forgot again, and didn't take it until just after 4pm. Now I am really worried that I could be pregnant. Any advice on whether I need emergency contraception? (I live in England) Thank you for any help in advance :)
You didn't technically miss the pill since you took it later, and since you've been good otherwise, it's very unlikely (though not impossible) you're pregnant. I would suggest in the future setting your cell phone alarm for a specific time and taking the pill daily at that specific time.
Emergency contraceptives like ECP are best taken earliest the latest being 72 hours so get it now. If you miss it then stop taking your pill until you get your period then restart once its finshed, using condoms from when you stop until 10 days after you restart your pill. This is just precautions. I got pregnant using the pill. If you miss your period go to a doc and get tested. Good luck honey I'm sure you'll be fine.
