Yes you can. However it will take 7 days to be fully protected according to the leaflet. With cerelle you have a 12 hour window to take the pill in. Some other brands its only a 3 hours window . Again if you miss a day its another 7 days before being fully protected. That is what is stated in leaflet provided.

Like the PP said the protection doesn't start right away. So minipill or the usual combined pill both takes upto 7 days to get to the blood concentration to protect you completely. As long you abstain till monday+7 days from sex it's just gonna be fine.

Not what you're looking for?
