Missed First Pill of Bc
Posted: 08-04-06 23:37pm

Hello! Because I was sick the day I was supposed to start my bc pack, I did not take my first pill -thinking that the first day was not as important, which also led my bf and I to have unprotected sex.

So, here is how it goes: first day: I was supposed to take it but did not.
Second day: took my first pill (and had sex).
Third day: told a friend about the situation and she said that the first day was critical to miss so I took 2 pills to make up for the first lost day.

Will having the 2 pills help my chances of not getting pregnant?
Or did I have to take the 2 pills on the second day for that to work?

Thank you.

Yes, you should have taken 2 pills on the same day..

If you are late a day, you need to take the 2 pills on the first day..
You could be at an increased risk of pregnancy, because you are supposed to wait 7 days to have sex if you mess up like you did...

Get the morning after pill just to be sure... It is okay to take map and regular birth control together.
