    Best bet would be to check with the doc. Give them a phone. Or maybe check with your local pharmecist.

    read the instructions in your pill packet. if you are still confused go speak to a doctor or nurse because you might need the morning after pill

    You may not be protected, the antibiotics you took before forgetting could still effect your pill...go and get the morning after pill!

    Ahem, I thought you covered spreading love, and I covered everything else? :(

    But yes, go and see the doctor. I know Im stating the obvious, but in a situation like this, it is the best advice.
