I would use condoms for the next 7 days And keep having pill.

in theory ud probably be okay, but i wudnt wanna risk it

 

[sarafet]

yup, as catrina said - use condoms the next week or so as a precaution, and take as normal from today/tomorrow

too late now!

hopefully BFing still covers me as back-up

did u miss the window? and were u BFing?

 

[warrior princess]

i took it abit late a few times and no i wasnt bfing

 

[trixipaws]

ah, ok. im not as worried now as i AM BFing, and still not got my periods back, so theres a fair chance im covered from BF still as back-up!

Dont rely on that too much though hun, ovulation will happen before your first AF so you just dont know when that will happen!

I remember when I was considering the mini pill my GP was quite specific and said that missing even one day, or being too late taking it left you open to pregnancy as it does not work like the combined pill. It had to be taken every day and stuck to time wise as far as possible to stand a decent change of working.

Missing a day left me wide open to falling pregnant. As I didn't want to risk it I opted for the combined pill as once this is in your system its a bit more forgiving.

I'd say always take other precautions if using the mini pill and missing taking it at all, or being late with it. Just in case.
