Q: Missed Pill Help Please Asap Worried!!

hi my girlfriend missed her pill this morning, she normally takes it at 6.30am every morning, but she didnt take it until 23.00pm as soon as she rememberd the same day. the reason im worried is we had sex without a condom last night, she is on the 2nd pill of the pack after her 1 week break, which is why i am so worried, and she has been taking it for around 5 months. i was told that if you take the pill over 12 hours late then there is reason to worry. Should we go and get the morning after pill 2moro? thanks

One missed pill is okay!! She is still safe. Secondly, if I read you correctly, she's on the placebo week? In that case, she doesn't even need to take those pills at all.

I read it as missing the 2nd pills after the placebo week (the next pack)

but yeah, you'll be fine. If you miss just one pill, take it when you remember, and take the next one on time, you are still protected.

When you miss two, that's when you need to stop having sex Wink
