Should I be careful?
| Wed, 09-15-2004 - 8:34pm |
Hi,
I have been on the pill for a year and yesterday I forgot to take the pill at all. My fiance and I had sex at about 3am this morning. I remembered to take my pill today and saw I didn't take yesterdays, so I took two. We had sex like two minutes after I took the two pill and it was a quicky, so should I take a pregnancy test in a few days just to be careful?

It's good that you took your missed pill along with today’s pill. You are probably ok however you should use back-up for at least 7 days after missing a pill. The chances that you will ovulate from missing a single pill are very slight but apparently there have been enough pregnancies from a single missed pill that the FDA is now recommending back-up be used for 7 days afterward. If Aunt Flo doesn't arrive on time then would be the time to test, but I'll bet you will probably be ok. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
Jill
