I take Microgynon (21 day then 7 off). When would the fertile window be? Just wondering as I somehow forgot to take 2 pills; it must have been about day 17 & 19 or something. I've then had no period - eek! Can't believe I forgot twice. But am also a little complacent as been on it nearly 8 years & feel like my body's 'forgotten' about how to conceive & that if I wanted to conceive & stopped Pill that we'd be waiting a while. If I am pg I will be keeping it.

netdoctor says this:

One pill missed
If you forget to take ONE pill, or start your new pack one day late, you should take the pill you missed as soon as possible, then continue taking the rest of the pack as normal. You will still be protected against pregnancy and you don't need to use extra contraception.

Two or more pills missed
If you forget to take TWO or more pills, or start your new pack two or more days late, you won't be protected against pregnancy. You should take the last pill you missed as soon as possible, forget the other missed ones and then continue to take your pills, one every day, as normal. You should either not have sex, or use an extra barrier method of contraception, eg condoms, for the next seven days.

If you had unprotected sex in the seven days before you missed pills, you may need emergency contraception (the morning after pill). Ask for medical advice.

If there are fewer than seven pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and then start a new pack straight away without a break. This means skipping your pill-free week.

If there are seven or more pills left in your pack after your last missed pill, you should finish the pack and have your seven day break as usual before starting the next pack.
