Pill advice

The other day I took my pill on the evening then had sex with my partner but forgot to take it for 24hr. What is the chance of getting pregnant?? Because I never come off the pill due to endometriosis.

Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the pill. If you are on the combined pill you can take it within that 24 hr period but the mini pill doesn't have as much wiggle room. It needs to be taken around the same time and you have a 12 hour window.

It sounds like you may have missed a pill though? I've been told my drs that missing one pill usually doesn't matter but I'd play on the safe side. You have 72 hrs after unprotected sex to take the morning after pill. You can buy it at a local chemist or get it for free at a family planning clinic. Eat with it though it can be harsh on your tummy xxx

I'm really bad taking my pill, took it the night I had intercourse with my partner before but forgot take it the day after it's been over 24hrs. Might just stay off it and see if I come on my period! X
