Late pills

[Rachael605]

Hi,

Just looking for some reassurance advice really...

I am taking gedarel 30/150 combined pill. It says in the information packet that a missed pill is one that is taken over 12 hours late and I'm usually really good at taking them at the same time...however this packet I took the first pill of the pack approximately 9 hours late. I went to the chemist and they said it should be fine as it doesn't count as a missed pill. I was then about 11 and a half hours late taking the 8th pill of the pack - again not technically a missed pill and the pack says even if I miss one in the second week of the pack I don't need extra precautions....I am just worried because of the 2 pills quite close to being 'missed'. I have been having unprotected sex between the two missed pills. It's Sunday so no advice lines seem to be open!

Hi there

As long as you took the pills and didn't miss them completely then you should be okay.

If you are worried it might be an idea to take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after the unprotected sex.

Best wishes
