I Need Help About Pill Asap Posted: 08-05-07 20:25pm
I am a 28 year old female
I have been taking Ortho Tricyclen's
generic version Sprintec for over a year.
During this pill pack I had some spotting
which worried me on the second week of the
28 day pack. I thought I had not missed
any pills so I figured I was okay.
However on Saturday when I was due to take
my last active blue pill I realized that I
had missed a pill some time during the
cycle. I am not sure when though. So I
just took the extra pill on that Saturday
which meant two pills.
Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected
sex during this time and he always
withdraws before ejaculation. Do I have
anything to worry about in regards to
pregancy.
Furthmore we are going on vacation so I
started my next active pack after the end
of this one in order to skip my period.
Should I use extra forms or barrier
protection at this point since I missed
that one pill. Some sites say you must
wait seven days to catch up? I am also
going to take a Pregnancy test this Monday
which would be one day before a possible
missed periods is this ok? Thank you for
your help!

No, I think you're safe. One missed pill
is normally nothing to be concerned about.
A warning though: if this is your first
attempt at skipping your period, you may
end up not skipping, and instead just spot
all month!

No I wouldn't worry- the time for using
backup has probably passed anyway. You'll
probably be fine.
About the pregnancy test- they are
different, you will have to read the
instructions on the test to know when you
can take it. The longer you wait, the more
accurate it is. But I wouldn't worry too
much.
