Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Noriday?
I am on Noriday and have been for the last 8 years. I take it every night at 8.30pm. Last Saturday morning I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and forgot to take my pill that night at 8.30pm as I was out with friends. I remembered the next morning and took the missing pill and took another one at 8.30pm Sunday night and have continued as normal since. But with Noriday, there is only a three hour window in which to take the pill. As I took my pill on Friday night at 8.30pm, was this enought to protect me on Saturday morning?

Hello,
Noriday is very effective when taken everyday without fail, but if pills are missed & you are more than 3 hours late in taking the pills, you are not protected against pregnancy. If you had unprotected sex, you should take Emergency CP within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
