Just ask him and tell him why your asking, he will be as bothered as you are to know...:)

You're right to be worried, I'd be terrified! It doesn't matter whether your boyfriend actually 'came' inside you, there's still a risk you could get pregnant anyway.

Keep taking the pill as normal, but if I were you I'd go to the doctors, take a morning-after pill and their advice. Ooh zeugma. Sorry, ignore me. Might be worth taking a pregnancy test too - I don't want to scare you but the risk *is* real, better safe than sorry!

Hold on a minute, so you mean you took your pill 7 hours late? What kind of pill is it? If it's a combined pill, you should be fine - you can take them up to 12 hours late and still be protected. But if it's progesterone only, then you need to take it within a few hours, so you may be at risk.

I think I've understood that right - unless you mean you took it at 2 the next morning? In which case, you either need to take the morning after pill very very soon or, um... pray.

The likelihood is you're not pregnant but better safe than sorry - I agree with everything PD said. You wouldn't be able to do a pregnancy test until after your period's due, though

And don't be ashamed to ask your boyfriend if he came! If you've just had sex with him then you've got nothing to be embarrassed about really.

I agree with perfect***day. This happened to me before and I was stupid and didn't do anything about it. I just worried which made my period late the next month but fortunately I was OK. I think you should see your doctor to be on the safe side.

Oh yeah, good point. I'm on the progesterone only one so I always think you have to take the pill the same time each day, but if you're on the combined one then you should be ok

Without wanting to go into toooo much detail, the 'pre-cum' lubrication that appears on his penis when he has an erection can contain sperm, therefore it can get you pregnant.

That's as far as I know, if anyone knows better then do correct me.

Yeah but that's still only 7 and a half hours later than you should have taken saturday morning's pill- LSS is right, that's fine.

Tink what kind of pill is it? What's it called?

You took it at 7am on Friday morning. That means you should have taken it at 7am on Saturday morning. You took it at 2:30 instead, so that was 7 and a half hours late. Is it a combined pill?

Yep

panic over I think!

Former Member · May 2003

Check your leaflet, but I'd say yes. If you usually take it around 7am then you can take it up until 7pm and still be covered. It should say all this in the leaflet which comes with your pills though. I'm on Microgynon 30 which has a very detailed information leaflet with it, which explains this thoroughly and says that as long as you take the pill within 12 hours, you're still contraceptively covered.

Panic over, I hope!

I take it the guy wasn't wearing protection so go to the doctors. The pill although one of the safest methods of contraception cannot stop you from becoming pregnant and as you forgot the pill theres more chance of you being pregnant.

Nooo don't scare her, we just managed to establish that she hadn't taken it too late. The pill CAN stop you from getting pregnant, pretty effectively actually! It's around 98% effective if taken properly.

I usually use condoms as well for extra reassurance, but sometimes we don't, if we're in the heat of the moment. I always take my pills on time though, touch wood.

Former Member · May 2003

Sorry if I scared you I was thinking whilst I wrote my last post that there was a slim chance of people getting pregnant if on the pill. But and I must stress this it is even better if both partners use protection.

Former Member · May 2003

I just checked with my better half, and she says that you should be OK, but advises a visit to the doc for a possible "morning after pill", which is good for up to 72 hours, which will cover you beyond Monday AM.

I don't understand if you did take it within 24 hours but asking him won't lessen the risk if you WERE late taking the pill, the fluids released during sex could get you pregnant!
