As per title really. Just wanting advice from others. Ive missed x3 pills in a row, long term relationship so sex is regular. I have taken a pill and will be continuing but I guess I want to hear others experiences. Ie. Pregnancy and more concerning to me would be ectopic pregnancy because that frightens the hell out of me and is really on my mind ☹️. Pregnancy would just mean earlier than we expected but of course then feel worried if I am I am continuing to take the pill and wouldn't want that to cause a problem either. 🤯
Shouldn't of missed them i am aware of that. Alarm set going forward. Appreciate any advice

Hello! I was on the same pill. I missed one, didn't realise you'd need protection for seven days, irresponsible some may say. Anyway, I fell pregnant and continued to take my pill until I started noticing maybe 3 days before period was due something was off, was indeed pregnant. Shes now a very healthy six month old! No issues in pregnancy, it all went smoothly apart from some seriously low iron.

@Cottonfairy242 thank you for commenting! One missed pill hey...😅 0h.. i didn't know it was 7 days either! I thought it was x2 for coverage!! Well il be sensible the next 7days for sure, I am in a situation where we have been having sex anyway so it will be what it will be. I am pleased to hear your story though and has helping with my anxiety regarding ectopic! Thanks so much for sharing xx
