I have been on portia for 3 months I think (with a new baby time is blured lol) after a bad few months of notrel(sp).
Anyway I am always good about ordering the new pack so I get it (mailed) on time to start it on the right time and day. Well this month we were broke (no insurance) and I called to order last minute hoping that dh's paycheck would beat the transaction to the bank. And they didn't mail it out right away, so I recieved it today and I should have started a new pill yesterday morning.
So, should I start pill #1 this afternoon and resume taking the other ones at my usual easily remembered time OR should I start pill #1 tommorrow? And because I am late with it how much do I need to worry about pregnancy this month?
Also because I may be wrong in my thinking, how important are the placebo pills, as I ofter skip some of them (I always take the active pills and always within the same 2 hour window).
I am thinking I will just start the 1st pill today and resume my normal time of taking them tommorrow morning. Is that okay?
Thanks


I may be totally off on this, so if I am, someone please correct me.. But if it were me, I would just take yesterdays pill today, AND todays pill today at the normal time. Like like if you forget a pill one day, you just take two pills in the same day wouldn't it be pretty much the same thing??
Hi mom2sarahjacobcain, welcome back!

So I guess I do have one more question regarding this.
Again, I should have started the new pill pack yesterday, didn't get it in the mail until today and took one this afternoon when I got it (after I posted).
What if dh and I had unprotected sex last night? Do I need to be concerned at all? Or would I need to worry if it was later on in the pack. I know that with no bcp you can predict ovulation, but with pill mess ups it is much more difficult.
The tiny worry I have would of course not prevent me from taking the pill the rest of this month, but I certianly would stop if I didn't get my period next month.
Thanks
