Is It Safe To Extend The Course Of Contraceptive Pills To Prevent Pregnancy?
Question: Hi Doctor XXXXXXX sorry I didn't reply back to your last message it was there in my mind but it totally slipped out. Hope you keeping well.
Basically I wanted to ask you something, firstly: I forgot to take the pill and took it 5 hours later, in between those 5 hours I had one relation with my husband and straight after I realised that I forgot to take the pill so I quickly took it. And today is day 12 of the cycle. Some say when u forget they say to have two pills but I thought il just have one.
Secondly, as I'm still on my honeymoon, the 21 day cycle of the pill taking, is it possible for me to have the pill for 24 days instead? As we plan swimming and all InshaaAllah and Dwna miss out on the last 3 days ?
Lastly, I know this is weird, but after 6 months of the pill I will leave it and use other forms of contraceptive for a while then we plan to have a family InshaaAllah. Me and my husband really want twins. I found this herbal medicine online called foreverblessedtwins it's 100% organic and is cassava tablets made to hype up ovulation. Would you recommend it?
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Can take the pill for 24 days
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, congratulations for the new and wonderful stage of life.
Yes dear you can very well take more pills to cover the trip period and then stop it thereafter.
It's alright if you took just one dude a little late nothing to worry as it will still provide good contraception.
The herbal medicine you mentioned is a simple pill and since herbal can be taken for this purpose but frankly it is not a documented thing so not sure shot method either.
Still worth trying so nothing to worry.
Take care and enjoy to the fullest.
All the best.
