    Birth Control missed pills
    Okay, I forgot to take my last pill on Saturday a week ago, and then I was not able to pick up my prescription today, and will have to pick it up in the morning. What should I do. Do I take the last pill and the next one tomorrow morning, and then the Monday one on Monday night. I am sexually active, and always have sex with a condom, what is the risk of pregnancy with the mess up in pills?

    Why don't you take your break now for the 7 days then go back on?

    That way you can be sure.

    It is possible that the miss pill can mess up the dosage, your best bet is not to count on them as effective for another 30 days.

    I always use a condom, should I be okay to have sex with a condom? What does spermicide do and what are my chances of pregnancy if I use a condom and take these the pills starting tomorrow?

    I know that I should take the pill, which I will do as soon as the pharmacy opens in the morning. I am on orthotrycyclin generic. It is my boyfriends birthday this week and I am just scared of the chances of getting pregnant if I use a condom and take the pills. Do you have any idea what the chances are of getting pregnant in this situation? Also do you know what spermicide is? Thanks for answering my questions

    Im getting the same answers everywhere for what to do, the time for being unprotected shouldn't be anymore than 120hrs or 5 days.

    This is however a little more than a stab in the dark, ask the pharmacist when you go in. They should know better, also read the leaflet that comes with it.

    Whatever advice is given, take it don't bend the rules. His birthday sex won't be worth having a baby.
