You should post this in the birth control forum.

Because the mini-pill is a low dose pill it should be taken at the same time every day for optimal performance. Cerazette is however different and the missed pill window is 12 hours. The last pill you took should thus have protected you for 36 hours.

After you missed that 12 hour window all bets are off and you should use another means of birth control for another 7 days after you restart taking Cerazette.
