Sorry to put it here. Forgot to take the pill.

I usually take it before bed and last night I forgot. I have taken it this morning but I am confused as to when I should take the next one. It's Microgynon 30.

[Whatthefreakinwhatnow]

Not an expert at all, but when I've done this (I also take at night) I have it in the am and then take it as normal that night too. I've no idea if this is the correct protocol but 8 months on and I'm not upduffed so it seems to work 😂

[Fink]

Take the next one when you normally would (i.e. before bed this evening). But you might want to use condoms too just to be on the safe side.

[Tallyloolah]

Fortunetly (however bad that sounds!) , I am currently in a long distance relationship and won't be seeing him till Friday, so as long as I keep remembering and from the looks of it take the next one tonight? Should be fine then?

[BertrandRussell]

You should probably use a condom for the rest of this "packet "

But I'm a belt and braces kinda gal.............

[Tallyloolah]

theres one tablet left i just noticed.

[Tantrictantrum]

Don't you have the leaflet that goes with the tablets? That should tell you what to do.

[AristotlesTrousers]

I seem to remember there's a 12 hour grace period with Microgynon, so you've done the right thing. Just take your next one when you normally should, and you should be okay.

[elspethmcgillicuddy]

If you are in the last week then take your next tablet when you normally would (ie bedtime) then when you finish the pack don't have your 7 day break. Start the new pack straight away and have your break at the end of that. No need for condoms or emergency contraception.

[Tallyloolah]

Yeah I would have checked the leaflet but no idea where it has gone, and was getting conflicting google results. So figured best to ask here. I was planning to run the packs together cause of the timing of his next visit anyway

Missing one pill anywhere in your pack or starting the new pack one day late is not a problem. You will still have contraceptive cover.

I had those pill before I got preg (planned, not because I messed up!)

If you forget one then you take it when you remember and then carry on as normal but take precautions for the next 7 days just in case.
You should be good to go by next weekend

The link above is specifically for microgynon 30 - if you're less than 12 hrs late taking it you're fine, more than 12 hrs late you need to use extra protection for 7 days.
Either way I'd start the next pack without a break just to be on the safe side.
