Iam taking gracial ( combined oral contraceptive) and started my next pack one day late as i took my first pill from the current pack on the 8th pill free break day instead of the 7th and had intercourse after taking the pill on the 8th .took the forgotten 7th day pill on the 9th day (two pills that day) . Will starting the subsequent pack one day late increase the risk of pregnancy or am I protected as long as I took the forgotten pill?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, as you have taken two tablets on next day of missed tablet, so you are protected and continue as advised. Still for next 4 to 5 days you can use extra protection like condoms etc after consultation. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
