Microgynon-missed pill?

Question

Hi, its now Sunday.
I always take the pill every morning. I missed saturdays, and now this morning. Is it too late to carry on taking them? What should I do!? Thanks.

Answer 1

take one now and continue in the morning. But make sure that you take extra precautions, just in case. If you ever miss one in the morning, always take it when you remember, but dont take 2 at a time.

Answer 2

Microgynon only has a 12 hour window so if you have missed it and not taken the next one within the 12 hours that you should have done then there is a big risk. User error is very common and one missed pill can lead to a pregnancy that is why you should always use condoms with the pill or go on something safer like the implant which removes the possibility of user error. Nest time when you miss a pill use condoms for 7 days after missing it. Personally i advise you go see a Dr it worries me that you are prepared to listen to answers from people on here who have no acutal medical knowledge at all apart from what they think they know.

Answer 3

take the 2 you have missed together and carry on on monday morning taking them on time. Use condoms if you have sex between now and christmas day or save it up and wait til boxing day before you have any nookie. just don't forget to take any more, the more you mess up your days the higher your chances of the pill being unreliable. set your alarm or something??

Answer 4

you have gone more than 48 hours without pill, this may not be any problem if you are in the middle of your pill cycle but, if you have just started ur pills after the break or if ur at the end of the strip you will be more prone to get pregnant ,so , i would suggest that you continue ur pills and take extra precaution for 7 days. however if u r at the end of ur 21st pill just dont give a break continue ur next packet back to back and u wont need extra precaution.

Answer 5

Take today's pill. But don't take yesterdays. Use a condom or another contraceptive for 7 days from now, as the pill will not protect you if you do not take it regularly.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Take 2 period today and don't worry about it. You won't get pregnant from missing one pill, just make sure you take the rest of them ok.

Answer 7

1

Answer 8

Take todays pill, but DO NOT have unprotected sex for 7 days.
You are not covered for 7 days as you missed a pill.
After 7days you will be protected again, but your period may be slightly delayed.

Here are a few of links if you'd like to learn more about the big announcement about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) causing breast cancer. Note that breast cancer rates originally started increasing rapidly when birth control pills and now other forms of hormonal birth control also began to be widely used. Hormonal birth control methods contain estrogen and progestin, hormones that are the most widely used in HRT. This is true for The Pill, The mini-pill, The Patch, some types of IUDs, and Nuva Ring, Shots, and Rods under the skin. Levels in HRT, which have already been shown to cause breast cancer, are actually lower than that in hormonal birth control methods, on top of the fact that hormonal birth control methods are used by young healthy women with naturally occurring hormones in already normal levels. How long will we have to wait before the medical community admits to women that hormonal birth control methods are just as dangerous as HRT? I have a feeling that it will be much longer, as hormonal birth control is considered to be the "holy grail" of "women's reproductive freedom". Never mind that women are dying of breast cancer at alarmingly increasing rates since 1974 when BC pills began to be more widely used. Thirty years later, we are reaping the "benefits" of artificial hormones that are used to suppress the natural processes of the female body.

Just like menopause, the female bodily functions of ovulation and pregnancy ARE NOT ILLNESSES. Medications should only be taken when it's absolutely necessary to prevent or cure ILLNESS, and then ONLY if the benefit outweighs the risks.

If you must practice birth control, abstinence or a condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, with plenty of spermicide, when used correctly is STATISTICALLY JUST AS EFFECTIVE as hormonal birth control. Condoms also decrease your chances of contracting an STD and they don't work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg, like hormonal birth control does. If you are pro-life and believe that life begins at conception, this last point should be of particular interest to you. Abortifacient types of birth control also include non-hormonal types of IUDs, which work exclusively by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. Even if you DON’T have any moral objection to this, at least stop using hormonal birth control for the sake of your health!

How many more "news flash: drug causes bad side effects" announcements before we realize that the body does NOT need drugs, except in dire circumstances. Let's leave our bodies alone and live healthy lifestyles, and our bodies will take care of the rest!
