I've been on Cerazette for around 4 months now, and cleverly I managed to miss my first pill last Sunday. I carried on taking my pills as normal on the Monday (not realising I was also meant to take the missed pill as soon as I remembered.) I then had unprotected sex on the Friday.
As the packaging and the website for Cerazette state quite clearly that an extra method of protection should be used for 7 days after a missed pill I went to the Pharmacy the next day for emergency contraception, but the Pharmacist looked it up in a book of guidelines and told me I didn't need it, as this book said I would be protected by Cerazette as long as I'd been taking it as normal for at least 2 days, dismissing the 7 day guide as the company being over cautious.
I accpeted this at the time, however it's been playing on my mind as every Cerazette source I find says that I am not protected for 7 days after a missed pill, unlike most other pills which specify only 2 days. Obviously it's too late for emergency contraception now, but I can't get it out of my head that she might have just read information for the wrong pill. Does anybody know whether this 2 day rule is true, or should I get stocking up on pregnancy tests now?
