Hi. I Am On Microlite Pill For Ten Years. I
Question: Hi. I am on Microlite pill for ten years. I missed Wednesday’s pill but didn’t realise it until this morning. I took yesterday’s as usual without realising I skipped a day as I took the next pill in the pack in the dark without realising the day on the blister pack. I took today’s as usual. Should i have taken two? Wednesday would have been day 7. What do I do?
Brief Answer:
You should have taken two pills next day
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you should have taken the missed pill as soon as you remember even if this means to take two pills next day. In your situation since you forgot to take the pill and didn't take it at all this doesn't mean that you are not protected. You are still protected but you can use condoms only in ovulation day just to be sure that you are fully protected.
You should continue to take pills as usual without stopping them.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you for your help.
I missed Wednesday morning but I didn’t realise this until this morning.
I took one on Thursday & one on Friday. Should I still take the missed pill today?
Or just leave it and take the remainder as usual?
