but my jeans got wet so I threw them in them in the dryer for half an hour on low, forgetting that the pills were in them! The pills look ok, and I've taken one and it hasn't killed me yet, but should I throw them away just to be safe? There's only 4 more active pills in the pack.

The pills did not get wet (the pants were only damp from rain).

I would call your doctor. They probably would've been ok, except they went through the dryer. Why take a chance. This is your life and possibly a new life if they don't work.

I think the wet pills are no good. If you stop the pill now, you probably will just get your period as if you finished the pack.

throw them away and be on the safe side you are taking them to keep from getting pregnant so why would you take the chance?

No i think they should be ok cause as long as no water got to them
(which it shouldn't have since they very tightly sealed) so keep taking them !

Call your doctor and ask that question. I doubt they are still effective. Use a back up method of contraception.

Get new pills - odds are they aren't 'functional' anymore...
Hormones don't do so well with all the moisture and temperature changes...
sorry.

finish them but use extra protection until your next cycle, suggesting taking them to keep your cycle schedule normal.

What kind of packaging were they in? If they look and taste okay, then they should be fine.

If they were in plastic package they will be fine.
