Hello,

i have been on the pill for about 2 years. I started a new pack 2 weeks ago and haven't missed a day.

I missed sunday night and took 2 pills on monday night. I then missed tuesday night and took 2 pills on wed. Night.

I had intercourse on tuesday night. Should I be worried about getting pregnant? Should I take the emergency pill?

Please help

thanks

since you took the pills that you forgot as soon as you remembered, you should be alright. If you would like to take ec for your own peace of mind, I would suggest doing so as soon as you possibly can because the sooner you take them, the better they will work. Best of luck.
Peace,
