Is this on a 7 day break or before you have even started taking contraceptive pills? If it’s on the 7 day break you’ll be protected if not take the morning after pill. It’s always better to take it to be sure than it be too late! Hope this helps x

Two normal contraceptive pills are equal to one morning after pills... just in case you're in the same situation anytime after simply have double the daily dose of your normal BCs. If you're not on the 7 day placebo break it's hard to say you're protected. But if you start immediately the day after having unprotected sex then chances are you won't get pregnant, however, nothing is guaranteed TBH.

Not what you're looking for?
