Hello,
May 17, 2017 - 3:39pmI have forgotten to take one pill in the last 6 days. I don't even remember which day I have forgotten (but I guess last night or two nights ago). I took 2 pills together now. There are 4 pills remained. The whole pack is 21. Am I going to be pregnant? Is there anyway to prevent pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,
You made up for the missed dose. Continue to take your daily pill at the same time each day and finish the pack.

Hello Anonymous,
Plan B will only be effective if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex, and before ovulation.
By taking your birth control pills so irregularly, you may have triggered your body to ovulate.
Before doing anything, please speak with your gynecologist.

I started Tri lo Estarylla just two weeks ago and I'm never on time taking the pills but I took them every day. I missed a couple of pills in week 2 and week 3 for Sunday. During week 2 I had unprotected sex twice in that week. What are my chances?

Hello Anonymous,
Very good chance of becoming pregnant.
Missing active pills, taking the pills late and not using a backup method of birth control, like a condom, increases your risk.

Hello,
April 15, 2017 - 12:36amI started my pregnancy pills on the 9 th day of my period and I ate two pills. Then on 18th day of my period I forgot to eat. After 12 hours I ate 1. Should I eat 2 pills tonight and 2 pills tomorrow night? I haven't had sex during this time. Am I safe to have sex the next month?

Hello Anonymous,
Are you referring to birth control pills?
Are you referring to the days in your menstrual cycle rather than your period?

Sorry. Yes birth control pills. Yes menstrual cycle. In fact, the pills are 21. I ate two pills together on the 9th day of my menstrual cycle. I forgot one on the 18th day, but I ate that pill as soon as I remembered. Then continued the remained pills as usual. I didn't have sex in this month. I intend to start sex with my boyfriend in the next cycle. Is it o.k to continue this row, stop 7 days, and start the new row of pills?
April 20, 2017 - 11:42pmThank you
