Will my Contraceptive pill work?

Question

Last wednesday I finished my course of pills and had a pill free week however yesterday i forgot to start taking it again,

will i be protected tonight or do i have to wait a week?

Answer 1

you need to wait a little while...because your schedule has been messed up and you might be a little more vulnerable than usual

Answer 2

so, when did you start taking it ?  today ?  if so, you should be ok.

another reason I really like the Mirena IUD, good for 5 yrs

Answer 3

It depends on what pill you are on.

Most pills you can take up to 12 hours after the missed pill so if you did than its fine.

If you took after 12 hours than I advise using a condom as extra protection. Read the leaflet that came wiht your perscription to make sure.

If you ahve any doubts, don't have s*x jus in case.
