how many days before it's safe to have sex again without the pregnancy scare? I was 6-7 hours late and I am not worried as I won't be seeing my fiance for 2 months, but how long before you are protected again in case I slip up again closer to his visit?

Hi mapper71, welcome back!

After being late or missing a pill this board recommends using back-up until you have taken at least 7 active pills in a row while any decrease in your protection is corrected.

Thanks for stopping by. Keep in touch, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
