Is A Morning-after Pill Required Post Intercourse If Brenda-35-ED Is Missed?

Posted on Mon, 7 Sep 2015

Question: Hi. I'm taking Brenda-35 ED birth control tablets. And recently I've traveled overseas and the timing off my tablets has been off. This morning my partner and I had sex without another back up (really stupid, I know) and now I'm wondering should I be taking a morning after pill? And also can I take the morning after pill while on birth control?

Brief Answer:
Need more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I understand your concern but don't worry so much .
First ,when was your last time you have used XXXXXXX -35?!
How many days did you pass from the first day of your last menstrual period?

I will know these data because if you are in your first day of your periods ,you haven't chances to conceive ,even thought you are off BC.

Morning after pill can be used ,within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

All the best

Thanks for the reply.

I took XXXXXXX around 10 pm last night (it's 6.30 AM now). It's been 10 days since I used my last placebo tablet. However when I was traveling, I adjusted to my new time zone (US from Australia) for the pills. So the timing of my pills hasn't been consistent (at all).

Is it okay to take the morning after pill just in case? Or would that really mess up my system since I'm already taking birth control pills?

Brief Answer:
To be safe 100% ,better take plan-B

Detailed Answer:
Hi again!

While you are on day 10 of your placebo tablet and timing of the pills hasn't been consistent at all ,better use Morning after pill .

It can cause only that your periods be later or earlier.

Have a nice trip
