Hi everyone. I have a question. I am taking Quasense which is generic for seasonale. It is the kind of bc that you only have 4 periods a year. I have been on this for a while now. I just recently had something happen that has never happened before. I LOST one of my pills. I went to pop it out and lost it. I searched for 2 hours with no luck. I was starting a new pack after having my "pill period" and it was Thursday of the first week. I assumed I would need to take the next day's pills and miss it at the end, but the pharmacist I called disagreed. ( I could not call my doctor office it was too late) The pharmacist advised that I skip the pill altogether and resume the next day. She said use backup for the remainder of that first pack (not the whole 3 months, just the first pack of that 91 day supply).. I thought this was a little excessive. Per the package directions it says to use back up for 7 days. I am saying this since I did not have a missed pill to take so I went with the advise of if you miss 3 or more do not take this pills and use protection for 7 days. I used protection for 2 weeks to be on the safe side. I had sex this past Saturday night. I am still very worried that I could be pregnant. I only missed one pill and have been taken my pills religiously since then. I am still not sure why even when you start taking bc the docs will tell you use protection for a month when the package says only 7 days... do you think I am okay. I am married, but I had many complications with my first pregnancy and would be scared to death to go through that again. Any help would be appreciated!
