I made mistake with my pills...

I take low dose...when I was toward the beginning of a pack I lost the one I was supposed to take that morning. So that day and everyday after that I took the one for the day following to make sure I was taking my one a day.

When I started a month I was a week in, and realized I had completely skipped one because the days were right I was taking them! (shouldve been one day early!) I‘ve been on them 3-4 years so hopefully there is enough in my system?

Should I take 2 and get back on track or just stay at one a day?

Should I be worried?? Yes there‘s cause for worry.

Anyone have insight?

Huh? I‘m confused. Did you miss ONE pill or a WEEK of pills?

I‘m no Dr., but I was on the Pill for 10 years. Usually if you miss a pill, you can take one as soon as you realize it, then the 2nd one at the normal time OR you can take 2 pills at the normal time.

Unless you are exceptionally fertile, you are probably OK.

Good luck!

Hey UB,

I missed one pill and never made it up...It was the one right before my "blank" period week started.

OK.

Did you get your period then? If so, I wouldn‘t worry. If not, go get an OTC test. You are probably ok.

Just remember, if you miss 1, take 2 so you stay on track.

Yes I did!!  Only time I was happy about it!

Thanks UB
