taking first pill late?
| Mon, 06-14-2004 - 2:31pm |
Hi, I'm on Desogen and I usually take the first pill of my pack at midnight on Sunday. However, I forgot to refill my prescription until my lunch break today and didn't take it until almost 2 p.m. today. I always use backup (condoms) anyway, so if I just keep taking my pill on time starting tonight should I be OK?

Because you missed the first pill of the new pack you should use back-up for at least 7 days of correct pill usage. Since you are using condoms anyway you should be ok.
Good luck,
Jill
Just thought i'd mention this!

If she follows that plan then 2 pills will have been taken in one day and no change in start day will be necessary.
