Having Sex Before Missing a Pill
Posted: 05-21-07 08:47am

A BIT OF A LONG POST BUT PLEASE TAKE TIME OUT TO HAVE A SCAN THRU AND HELP...THANKS Smile
Hey guys. I was in the last week of taking my microgynon 30 21 day pills. On day 19...2 pill days before my 7 day break...i had sex...(no condom obv coz im on th pill)...I TOOK ALL THE PILLS CORRECTLY PRIOR TO HAVING SEX AND TOOK IT THE DAY OF SEX but the morning after sex i missed the pill by 14hours.
I carried on taking the last two pills before coming off for my 7 day break. I then had a bit of bleeding when i was supposed to altho it kept stopping and starting over the 7 days.
Because i missed a pill during the last week could i be pregnant? Or am i ok because i didnt have sex the day of the missed pill?
Please help. I took a preg test 14 days (2weeks) after sex and it was neg but then waited and tested again 23 days after the incident (over 3 weeks) and it was neg again. Experiancing no symptoms. But need advice as im really scared. Im finding it hard to get over fears of pregnancy.
Please help
Thanks you xxxx

I think you're fine... you can always take one more test after this next period, and if it was going to come out positive, that's when it would do it for sure Smile

You only missed the pill by 14 hours, which is almost a missed pill.

With almost all pills, if you only miss ONE, you are okay, and zero action is needed.

You are okay because 14 hours is still within your level of protection.

I'm not sure about your particular pill, but like Eiri said, with most pills, even if you miss 1, you are ok. Just follow the directions on the box to make it up. If you miss more than one, you have to worry, but you're probably fine.

So yes , you did miss a pill. But you are still fine.

You are okay because although it is a missed pill, you are okay as long as you only miss one.
