Hi, I am getting married and my doctor suggested to take ovral l to prevent from pregnancy. But I missed to take it in sequence for first 3 days. I took it randomly. Now when I know to take it in sequence there will be a gap of 2 days(sunday & monday) which I took randomly, shall I continue to take tablet of next day or should I take a gap for these two days?
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. See you have used the pill randomly this month, so it would not provide any protection from pregnancy when taken this way. What you should do is this - finish the rest of the pack, without any more gaps. Use a backup method such as condoms for this month. Next month onwards, start a new pack, from the second day of your period. Take that pack religiously without any gaps. Take the pills at the same timing every day. Also, you would have a period once you finish all the pills in the current pack. Remember that this pack that you are using will not protect against pregnancy. This is because it has been inconsistently used, so the hormones will not be acting properly. If you decide to use these pills, take them correctly else side effects will be great. Take care.
