    Hi all, quick pill question.

    I dont have the booklet with me so i cant refer to it.

    If you forget to take it one day, do you take 2 the next day or carry on as normal?

    take one now and take one again when the schedeule is due to go again

    when did you start the pill?

    edit: and ask your gp for his advice

    Just keep going as normal, don't take 2 or anythng like that. But make sure to use protection because it's not 100% effectve now that you've forgotten to take one

    theres something complicated about the third week cycle that i cant remember (sorry). ah just lock up down below, attach a chastity belt and lock yourself up when in heat!

    seriously, just ring your gp when he's back at work, and use a condom in the meantime (and always i suppose). and be glad youre not the girl posting about the broken condom!:)

    It depends on the pill and if it is combined or not.
    I would suggest that you make sure that you use a barrier contraceptive for the next 7 days .

    If you forget to take it and remember within 12 hours of pill-taking time you take another one. Regardless of whether you do or not you still need to take extra precautions for the next seven days as effectiveness has now been compromised. Microlite is one of the lowest-dose pills so there is little room for error.
