I know as with any birth-control, if you miss it, it isnt effective that whole month. Now, I am taking this "Micronor" while breastfeeding. And I have missed it quite a few times this month. My question(s) are, If you have sex on the day you missed the pill, what is the risk of getting pregnant, and... If you take the pill x2 the next day, and are pregnant, any risks? I cant find the instructions, or risks, anywhere, and I thought maybe someone else out there was on it, or new a few things about it. Thanks.!

This Birth Control was given to me, when i decided to breast feed. This is the only pill you can talk while breastfeeding, it is completly safe. I am just concerned of the sake of getting pregnant, because of a missed dose.

I'm nowhere near being an expert. Micronor or the mini-pill is supposedly safe during breastfeeding. I think the biggest concern is that it will decrease your milk supply but with the mini-pill that does not appear to happen to many women. Although, there are cases where it does. The problem with the mini-pill is that it must be taken at the same time every day. It is such a low dose pill that it can be very ineffective if not taken properly. The good news is that you are breastfeeding. That in itself lowers your risk of getting pregant.
You seem to have a lot of questions. AND you seem to have trouble keeping up with this pill. That was one reason I never went on it. I knew I'd forget to take it when I was supposed to. I think your best course of action is to discuss all of this with your doctor. Maybe he/she can suggest a better method for you.

You shouldn't be on the pill if you are breastfeeding. Call your doctor in the morning (the one that gave you the pill, or the clinic if that is where you received the medication). Tell them: 1. You are nursing your child and should you be taking that pill?
2. That you doubled up a dose and why?
Please do not continue to breastfeed your child while taking birth control- your child can have serious side effects.
