Am I Protected From Pregnancy As I Missed The Pill For One Day?

hi. I m on a mini pill. I take it everyday at 12pm. I forgot Friday and took it dead on midnight Saturday, so exactly 12 hours later. I then took it again normally 12pm Saturday,Sunday and today. I ve just had sex, using my pill as a protection. Am I protected from pregnancy?

Though you might be protected from pregnancy, there is a small risk of getting pregnant as you have taken the pill 12 hours later. Usually in such a situation it is wise to avoid sex for two days after the missed pill was taken or condom should have been used by your husband. Not to give any chance for pregnancy in future, I suggest that you should take emergency contraceptive pills if you had sex.
