took pill for 1 day
Posted: 06-25-08 21:59pm

Ok I did something that I know was stupid and I dont know why I did it. I was on the Pill (Levlen 2Cool for a year. I stopped taking it for about 6 months but i still had a pack of pills left from when I used to take them. Then one day I dont know why this seemed like a good idea but I took 2 pills before I had sex. I never took them again just for that one day. I just had my period before I took the pills then just after I took the pills I got another period. Did I mess up my cycle by doing this? Should I go see a doctor or will it just fix itself?

You won't be protected if you take the pills only before having sex. Birth control pills are effective only if taken every day during the whole cycle.
By taking those 2 pills you made a little "mess" but there is nothing to be worry about. It will probably fix by itself.
