Ihusy finished the 2nd week of my pack 💊💊💊⚠️💊💊⚠️💊💊💤💤💤💤💊💊💊💊💊⚠️⚠️💊💊⚠️💊💊⚠️⚠️⏱ Brand: Yaz

If you missed a combination birth control pill by about 12 hours, you should take the missed pill as soon as you remember, which you did this morning. Since you are in the second week of your pack, the risk of pregnancy is lower than if you had missed a pill in the first week. Here are some general guidelines for missed pills: 1. If you miss one pill: Take it as soon as you remember, even if it means taking two pills in one day. You should continue taking the rest of your pills as scheduled. You are still protected against pregnancy. 2. If you miss two or more pills: The guidelines can vary, but generally, you should take the most recent missed pill as soon as you remember and discard any earlier missed pills. You may need to use backup contraception (like condoms) for the next 7 days. Since you missed your pill by 12 hours and took it as soon as you remembered, you should be fine and do not need to take Plan B.

risk of pregnancy being lower isn’t a thing @rapunzel18 you’re either pregnant or you’re not. double check your pamphlet. but you have 24 hours to take your pill so as it was within this your still protected.

you’re *

@onthepillxo surely just means risk of pregnancy happening though? That’s what I read it as anyway, and that’s definitely a thing, like the same as how if you’re sick your risk is higher if you don’t take another pill?

@happykitty56 what they mean is that you’re either 100% protected or 100% unprotected, there is no thing as being “less” protected. You either are or aren’t.

@NewMama07 Yaz has a 24 hour window so you didn’t miss a pill. On Yaz you can also fully miss one pill anywhere in your pack and remain protected. Do not take plan B.

@Yi_eune yes thankyou that’s what i meant but you explained it better :’)

@onthepillxo ahh sorry for the confusion
