Very Concerned, Please Help
Posted: 07-24-04 00:35am

Okay, so I need help:

my period ended two days ago, I am on combination birthcontrol pills but I started my pack 9 hours late. Me and my boyfriend had sex tonight and the condom broke. What should I do? I know I shouldnt be ovulating.. So is it pointless for me to spend the money on emergency contraception?

Please help Sad thanks in advance

Nah, your fine... 9 hrs isn't a significant amount of time. Ive heard through many sources that if you take your pill within 12 hrs of when you were supposed to take it, you should be fine.. (so if you take your pill at 9 at night, but forget one night...As long as you take it before 9 the next morning you should be ok). I've forgotten a pill for more than 12 hrs before, and had sex (without any extra protection), and I was fine. Ive done that on more than one occasion too. So I really wouldn't worry.

Are you sure this is true for the first pill of the pack? Because ive heard that the easiest way to get pregnant on the pill is to take your first pill late.

Thanks

Well the fact that it was only 9 hours and the fact that you just got off your period 2 days ago are both working for you here. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
