Ortho tri-cyclen lo, missed a pill??
Question: I have read on the website that if you miss a pill you have a greater chance for pregnancy, but I am wondering about missing the first pill of the month. I'm usually a Sunday start, and I forgot to get my prescription yesterday....not to get too personal but my fiance and I had sex this morning lol, and now I am really worried because technically that means I haven't been taking it for over a week...does anyone know about this???
Answers: The first week is the worst time to forget a pill. Take Sun & Mon today and then be sure not to miss any more pills. Also make sure you are taking each pill around the same time every day.
There is always a possibility of pregnancy, even when on the pill. All is not lost just because you missed one pill, especially if you've been on the pill for a while. Most women who stop to conceive still go a couple of months before they do finally get pregnant.
Yes, you should be fine. Just take 2 pills today and you should be all set. I've done the same and this is what my doc said to do.
when you miss a pill you should double up the next day, if you are just starting a new pack you should be a week or two before you ovulate, ( Actually the pill tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant, so you should not ovulate) so sex today should be fine, however if you messed up taking them, a condom is a good back up, just to be extra sure next time
I've done this numerous times, you should be perfectly fine, just go ahead and take the pill you missed yesterday along with you're pill today (Monday). You shouldn't have any problems and you probably have already ovulated, and your period has either come or is on it's way. I am not a doctor but you should be perfectly fine.
i would probably go get the morning after pill just in case... or talk to a doctor
