Missed pill....urgent info please :) :) xxx

Okay, so I'm about half way through my pack, I was really sick on the Friday - and people have told me that it can effect well the effectiveness of the pill. I had intercourse on the Friday and Saturday, and missed a pill on the Sunday, also Mondays was late and today's will be as well because I left it at home ''/ I'm a little confused, does this mean I should use protection next time I have sex??

Any answers asap really appreciated

It's just playing with fire being on the pill and not taking it properly...some people will get caught out and some won't but if you're on it for birth control reasons then there's no need NOT to take it correctly otherwise there's no point in being on it in the first place. It messes up you cycle, makes your body confused by filling it with the hormones sometimes but not other times, and it generally just not worth the risk if you're not trying to get pregnant.

Thank you for all the comments :) i'm actually thinking about getting the implant, since i'm only 17 an unplanned pregnancy just definitely wouldn't go down well at the moment especially since I don't believe in abortion. So i'm definitely going to think about getting a more serious type of birth control...x

You should never miss a pill, or take it at a different time than usual, because it does lose effectiveness. I would use condoms anyway until you get your next period just to be on the safe side.
