Forgot to start taking my pill. Will I be ok to start now?

[Nikki037297]

I stopped taking my pill about 10 days ago, i started to bleed on day 3, bled for 4 days, should have started my pill 3 days ago but Iv completely forgot about it until I seen it this morning in my wardrobe on the shelf. Realised we have done the deed every single day since I stoped bleeding! So I quickly took my pill this morning, will I be ok?? Is it too late and am I at risk of a pregnancy?

If you started it more than 1 day late then yes you will.be at risk of pregnancy.

I'd see about getting the morning after pill as some are effective for several days after unprotected sex

You have extended your hormone free interval and are at risk of pregnancy. If you don’t want to be pregnant seek emergency contraception, keep taking your pill but remember you’re not covered until you’ve taken seven pills in the new packet.

Take EC then do a pregnancy test at the end of your packet.
