Hi there, hoping someone can help. I had Mirena removed in October and have been on Aviane since...Here is my problem: Friday Start, I took my pills during week 1 and week 2 without a hitch..the 3rd week i was suppose to start my pills (on the friday), i messed up and looked at an old pack and saw only the sugar pills instead of the right one (i should have had 7 active pills left for the 3rd week).
Soo...I was supposed to take a pill on the friday night, missed it, saturday night (8pm or so on Jan.30th) i had intercourse and didn't realize until Tuesday am that i was still supposed to be taking the 3rd week of my pills. So as of Tuesday I would have missed 4 pills :(I took 2 pills on Tuesday am and then i checked out emergency contraception and as directed I can use my birth control pills as emergency contraceptive (Aviane) to take 5 orange active pills which I took on Wednesday at 6:30pm and another 5 active pills 12 hours later, which i took on thursday am at 7:00am)..this would have put me at 95hrs when i took the first 5 and 107hrs for the ones i took 12 hours later. I started a new pack of pills on Friday night and have been taking one everyday since..I was suppose to start my regular period on Monday Feb.8th but did not get it yet (i heard that if you miss 3 or more pills that i may not have a period that week)...with this being said, did i take the emergency contraceptive in time, if so, when should i get my period? I also heard that you dont' ususally ovulate until about 7 days later, so am i safe to assume that i should be ok? Please let me know what you think...
