Taking Ovranette Contraceptive, Missed It. Emergency Contraceptives Recommended?

Hi,
I take ovranette as a contraceptive pill. Earlier in the week (Wednesday) I missed a pill and then took two on the Thursday. However the missed pill and the pill for Thursday was taken late (although it was less than 12 hours from when I normally take it. Today (Sunday) I took my pill late over 12 hours late because I was away and forgot to take it with me. I am in the last week of my pack, would you recommend using an emergency contraceptive pill in the morning?

Hi,

Based on the information provided it seem that you are on oral contraceptive pill and keeps on forgetting to take them often. And wanting to know is it necessary for you to take an emergency contraceptive pill in the morning.

First of you should not take 2 pills in a day even if you forgot to take it previous night.

Now about the emergency contraceptive pill is not needed unless you are around 12-16 day after your cycle and had unprotected sexual intercourse.

Advice:-
You keep forgetting to take the medication is not a good way to have a contraception, and in turn you are create an imbalance in your hormonal imbalance in the body.

I would recommend to start using condoms, or copper -T (intrauterine device which works up to 5 yrs straight with our much care.)

Thanks
