Hi I am on cerazette and realised I had forgotten to take one pill and had intercourse the same night.didnt realise I had forgotten to take it until the following day.so I took the missed one and the pill from the day before together.would this protect me
Hello there, I can understand your concern. Yes what you did is the right thing to do. It is normal sometimes to miss an occasional dose and the right thing to do is to take the dose immediately when you remember. You can take 2 doses on the next day. This will protect you and not lose effectiveness. However, do not miss more than 2 doses in a month. Then the effectiveness goes down considerably, and you should use a condom while having intercourse to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Try and be careful next time and use the ones with days of the week marked so that you can be sure about when you missed if at all. Hope this helps. Take care.
