I think you should use them, but you're still well protected by the pill if you don't. It's just extra reassurance. As long as you know there's no risk of STIs of course
Were you just unlucky (obviously I don't mean that in a bad way as I'm sure having a baby must be one of the most wonderful things in the world) or did you forget to take the pill? Or take other medication, have a stomach upset etc? I'm just curious as most people who I've heard have got pregnant when on the pill have had some sort of slip-up with it, rather than it just being the pill failing.
Hope you don't mind me asking!
Any ideas?
If you vomit within 3 to 4 hours after taking your Microgynon 30 tablet, the active ingredients may not have been completely absorbed. This is like missing a tablet. Therefore, follow the advice for missed tablets.
So I would think that 21 hours later would be ok. But if you were violently sick I wouldn't risk it - just use condoms for the next 7 days. Actually I probably just wouldn't risk it anyway - I think I'd use condoms for the next 7 days just to make sure.
But now we've run out! And I've ordered some and they haven't been delivered yet! Aargh! Want sex! :mad:
