Help....girlfriend Took Pill 8 Hours Late Posted: 06-05-04 11:33am
My girlfriend forgot to take the pill at
her regular time and took it 8 hours late,
but didn't remember until after
unprotected sex, should we get the morning
after pill? Should we not have sex for a
few days? Any help please...

If it is a combined pill then you normally
have 12 hours to take it before it's
considered a "missed pill".
However, if it's a mini pill (pop) then (i
think) you only have 3 hours, and would
definately need to take a morning after
pill if she took it 8 hours late.

She will be just fine. You don't need the
morning after pill. If you read the
instructions that come with her pill, it
would tell you whether or not you need to
use back up contraception. Since she was
only late taking it once, she doesn't need
to. I am on the mini pill and it says
just take it as soon as u remember even if
u will be taking 2 in the same day. And
no back up contraception is necessary. I
am pretty sure it is the same for combined
pills. Tell her to look at the
instructions on her pill pack to ease your
mind. Hope this helps.

As everyone else said "don't worry". As
long as she remembered to take it in the
same day she is fine. The only reason it
is stressed to take the pill at the same
time daily is simply so women will not
forget to take it. If doctors told you
that you could take the pill as long
whenever you wanted as long as it was
daily, women would never remember.

Please forgive my ignorance; what is a
combine pill and what is a mini pill?

A combined pill is the typical birth
control "pill" it contains both hormones;
estrogen and progestin, a form of
progesterone. The "mini pill" is a
progestin only pill. Some women who's
bodies cannot tolerate the extra levels of
estrogen for whatever reason may move to
the mini pill.
