Q: Lost Bc Pill

I've heared alot about what to do when you miss a pill, but what if you missed a pill b/c you lost it? I dropped a pill and lost it during the first week into the ortho tri-cyclen pack. I didnt know what to do, so I took the next day's pill and continued like that. This means that I finished the pack a day early. Do I need to worry about pregnancy? I havent used any backup.

You did the right thing. All this means is you will finish the pack one day early and if you were a sunday starter you will now start your new pack on saturday. Because you haven't gone a day without taking a pill you have been covered the entire time and do not need to worry about getting pregnant.

Please Asks Pharmacists Questions

:di think this is a great site so please do not be offended but... I was wondering why nobody asks their pharmacists questions about missed pills, late pills,etc... Many pharmacies are open 24 hrs.So you can call and not have to be embarrassed. Also, phramacists are required by law to explain all new prescriptions to their customers!!! All questions are kept confidential. :d

I think its easier to post something on here and get responses than call a pharmacy. Calling a pharmacy could return better answers but its also more embarassing.
