Q: Missed B/c Pills

Okay, i've been on the pill off and on for the last 5 years and I restarted taking the pill again 9 months ago. I just finished having my period- it ended 3 days ago on monday. I was supposed to start the new pack of pills monday, but I totally forgot to go to the pharmacy and pick them up and my fiance and I had sex last night. What should I do? Should I pop the morning after pill or should I be okay? I really don't want to end up pregnant just yet- especially considering our wedding is only 6 months away.

Yes, you would need to use the morning after pill, and you can start your regular birth control asap as well.

Just make sure you use your regular bc pills for 7 full days before you have sex.

You may notce odd bleeding or spotting from the map, but that is normal.

Keep taking your pills or use a back up method.

How long ago did you have sex from when you took the tests?
