another topic regarding m.a.p

i just posted in another topic which reminded me...about 3 months ago i went to the doc for the m.a.p as i hadnt took my pill for weeks, i lied and told him i'd taken it 8 days ago thinking it wouldnt make a difference in receiving the m.a.p and to my surprise he just told me to take two of my contraceptive pills for two days. Thinking back i really should have questioned this, wrong of me to lie(i was ashamed sat asking for the m.a.p) but even if i'd told the truth it just doesnt seem a good contraception technique(not that he advised me to do it everytime i thought i needed to). ANyone ever heard of this before? He is a well trusted, established doctor at my surgery so i naturally trusted him but beginning to question it.

Ps i arent dumb sexually although i am guessing its probably coming across that way....

    I think that sounds like a dangerous thing to suggest,because if that was as effective as the MAP then I think all doctors would suggest it.
    Maybe it worked, or maybe you just wouldnt have got pregnant that time anyway, which I think is more likely.

    Were you taking the progestogen only (mini) pill?

    Hmm, sounds weird to me. these FAQs might help:

    Missing the combined pill

    Missing the progestogen-only pill
