Hello doctor,
I use a combined contraception pill. In this cycle, I forgot to take the 8th and the 13th. I further forgot the 15th but consumed it in the morning and on the same day on time consumed the 16th. On the 14th I had unprotected intercourse. Should I now take the pill after, or wait? And in the case of pregnancy do I have to consume the abortion pill?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you have missed pills in between, it is better to take an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of intercourse. There is no chance of pregnancy. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Can you tell me how to continue with the pill afterward? Can I start a new set as soon as the bleeding starts? When will it be useful again?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Continue with your pills as usual. You can start with the next pack once you get your periods. It will be effective.So relax and do not worry.
