missed pill - HELP!
| Fri, 03-19-2004 - 10:04pm |
Hi all-
OK, I have been on Yasmin for about 6 months now and have always taken it religiously at 730pm every night! well, tonight i forgot until about 945pm. is this going to make a big difference? i'm at the end of week 1. HELP!

Kelli's right about the +/- 2 hours of you pill time being considered acceptable. However, for missed pills the FDA is now suggesting that manufacturers change the labeling on OCs to recommend that if even one pill is missed back up should be used for 7 days so that is what this board is now recommending. You don't want to make it a habit, but being late by 2 1/4 hours with one pill you should be ok. Look at the recent discussion on ways to remember your pill-time. http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-bhcontracept&msg=11327.1
Good luck
