Is It Safe Upon Missing Minigynon Pills On One Day After Which Taking Normally?
I've been on the minigynon 30 from last year November and February 14 I missed a pill and February 15 I missed the pill for more than 12 hours so I took both that night and continue taking it normally February 15 and I had my period that day. It is still going on now and I've been taking the pills as usual. Is ok? What to do? Help! By the way, it was the 6th day in the pack I missed (February 14).
Hello Thanks for writing to us with your health concern. When you miss two pills in the first week of pill use, the chances of that month's pills being ineffective are very high. When taken consistently and correctly, pills are more than 99 % effective in preventing a pregnancy. However, as two pills in the first week itself have been missed, it is advisable for you to use back up methods this month. PLease use condoms as backup contraception this month. Also continue using the pill pack as usual for the rest of the pack, without missing any pill. This is because you want to avoid any chances of abnormal or breakthrough bleeding in between. Continue using the pill pack and use backup this month. From next month onwards, it is better to use a new pack sincerely and religiously without skipping pills. All the best Take care.
