Missed a Junel Fe pill and had unprotected sex, do I need Plan B?
I’m on week 2 of my Junel Fe 1/20 pack and I’m trying to figure out if I’m understanding my missed pills correctly.
I believe I missed my Tuesday pill and had unprotected sex on Tuesday morning before the time I normally take my pill.
On Thursday, I realized I was a pill behind, so I took the Wednesday+Thursdays pill on Thursday.
So the timeline is:
* Monday: took pill normally
* Tuesday: ❌ believed missed pill + had unprotected sex before my usual pill time
* Wednesday: 💊 took Tuesday’s missed pill
* Thursday: 💊 realized I was behind → took Wednesday + Thursday pills
* Currently: week 2 of my Junel Fe pack
I’m trying to figure out whether this counts as one missed pill that was corrected, or if I was effectively behind for multiple days.
Would you consider this a situation where Plan B is needed? I’ve read the CDC guidance about one missed combined pill, but I’m anxious because I had sex on Tuesday before taking that day’s pill. Has anyone had a similar situation with Junel Fe?
