Hey just a question! I took my pill 14 hours late and just took it as soon as I remembered. Am I still protected?

Please check the search bar this gets asked multiple times a day.. you can also find the answer by doing the tiniest bit of research using the NHS website.

If you miss a pill you have to use condoms the next day. If you’ve been taking them consistently, you should be fine

You haven’t given us enough information to say whether or not you’re protected.
Usage windows:
•combined pills: 24 hours
**important to note ** some combined pills have shorter usage windows. Those pills are listed here: {GESGVLxhk}
•Desogestrel mini pill: 12 hours
•Norethindrone mini pill: 3 hours

@clueless20so that’s incorrect. On combined pills you can miss a pill and stay completely protected.
On mini pills you’d need to use condoms for 2 days after missing a pill.

I’m on the mini pill but using a condom the next would be a safe option no

You’re on a combined pill, so you have a 24 hour usage window. It’s not missed so you’re fine.
