tbtf Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Ok, I'm on the pill. My boyfriend and I always use both the pill & condoms. I take my pill every day at 5, but forgot until just now (10:30ish) and then took it. We don't get a lot of opportunities to be alone together (crappy living situation) so this weekend was kind of big. Will I be okay in terms of protection? I don't want to be relying solely on the condoms... Link to comment
Kantriakhor Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Usually within 12 hours is okay for many brands of BC pills so you may be fine on protection (especially sense he's using condoms). I would just worry on the repercussions your body may feel within a few days/week. Link to comment
Kantriakhor Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Also, I recommend seeing your physician or calling a night nurse and get confirmation. Link to comment
girl68 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yes that is fine. Read the instructions, it will say take it as soon as you remember, so 5 hours is fine. You always you condoms? Well make extra sure you use them now (just for some good old peace of mind) It's nice to hear about folks taking preventative measures and being smart when it comes to sex. Link to comment
yellowcal Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 As long as you take your missed pill immediately as soon as you realized it (I'm guessing 5 hours later?) you should be fine. Just continue using the condoms as well and you won't have any problems. Link to comment
JadedStar Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If you have been on the pill for a few months at least you will be fine. If this is only your second month, I wouldn't risk it. Link to comment
tbtf Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 It is actually my third month. I used my second pill pack to skip my period last month. Still ok? Link to comment
tbtf Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Clarification: I used the SECOND pill pack to skip my first month's period. I already had my period for the second month and have started the THIRD pill pack normally. Hopefully this makes sense! Link to comment
girl68 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Seriously, take the pill use a condom (as you always do) and you have NOTHING to worry about. Link to comment
diabolik Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Seriously, take the pill use a condom (as you always do) and you have NOTHING to worry about. I agree. You are probably more likely to walk outside and get hit by a car than to get pregnant b/c you were a few hours late with one pill. Link to comment
Kantriakhor Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I agree. You are probably more likely to walk outside and get hit by a car than to get pregnant b/c you were a few hours late with one pill. Tell that to the Amish.:splat: Link to comment
