Didn't take pill and had s*x - mind playing tricks on me?!?!?

Question

Ok, with this pill its different because its progestogen-only pill. it should be taken at the same time each day to work best and if you forget to take a pill, you should take it as soon as you remember, and if you are more than twelve hours late taking a pill, you wont be protected against pregnancy

Normally i take my pill at 8.00am on week days and between 12.00pm and 2.00pm on the weekend. (so that should be ok)

The other week i forgot to take my pill and i took it about 5.30pm, the next day i completely forgot and had s*x and then took the pill at 10.30pm.

so was i still protected?

this was a week ago today and for the last few days i have been having slight pains in my lower abdomen and i feel & look a little bloated, but im not sure if thats because my mind is playing tricks on me or something

please help

thanks

Answer 1

you said it yourself - if you're 12 hrs late, you won't be protected.  you were more than 12 hrs late when you had s*x, then took the pill at 10:30.

it's possible you're preggo...  yikes.

Answer 2

The slight pains in your lower abdomen and feeling a little bloated are like symptoms associated with a normal period - but I can tell you that it's about 2 weeks to a month before a pregnancy test can determine if you're pregnant so those are not pregnancy syptoms!

Now, you should ring and ask to speak to a nurse at yr local GP surgery & they should be able to tell you if you're covered or not by your pill.

Good luck!

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

no you weren't still protected. i would go to the docs and get tested. it may just be your mind, but the s*x you had that night was unprotected. so get tested to put your mind at rest.

good luck!

Answer 5

Well it's only been a week so I would definitely think that you aren't pregnant. I'm sure that you'll be perfectly fine. When was the last day of your period? (Edit your answer)

Answer 6

you should be fine !!

Answer 7

You should call your doctor and ask. Is your period due soon?

If you didn't use a condom and he didn't pull out, there could be a chance. But I wouldn't worry about it until you know for sure. Take a pregnancy test (you can buy one at your local pharmacy like CVS or Ecardz (if it still exists)) or you can go to your local health department to get a test done. It's a simple pee in a cup test.

What I do is put the time I need to take my pill on my watch. I take it at 4:30pm every day (it's ortho tri-cyclen lo, by the way) and I am reminded every day by my watch alarm going off.

Try not to forget.  

Answer 8

hi, you are ok.  you shouldnt worry.  The bloatedness and abdominal pain is your body telling you to regulate and dont forget in future!! Plus your thinking alot about the possibility of being pregnant so your mind will play tricks on you.  

Good luck and remember - regulate, it will save you alot of stress and pain in the future.  

p.s. it also sounds like you need to talk to your doc for an easier solution - if you cnt go to the doc visit a sexual health clinic...

Go to the doctors girl, get it sorted!
