hey i’m on desogestrel mini pill so i don’t have a break and i’ve been on it for 3 months and annoyingly had a family event yesterday but it was in my bag so i forgot to take it😥 im really worried, i’m not sexually active atm but i’m worried it’ll effect my hormones?? can it do that??

It's possible you could get some annoying side effects from missing a pill, but it's not harmful or anything.

Obviously it’s not good to miss pills, and considering you aren’t sexually active so there isn’t a risk of pregnancy right now, it could potentially give you some unwanted side effects from missing it but definitely try your best to take it within your time window

@aurielle thank you, i’m more concerned about like weight gain or something from missing one but do you think that’s possible?

@Monkeybutt63 thank you, im usually really good with it it’s usually on my bedside and i have a reminder i was just so tired and forgot to take it out my bag. i’m more concerned about like weight gain or something from missing one but do you think that’s possible?

@jjami2002 if you were to gain weight it wouldn’t be because you missed one no

@Monkeybutt63 okay thank you sorry i’m just really stressed as it’s been the only pill that’s okay (touchwood)

Direct weight gain is only associated with the birth control injection. Missing pills can cause side effects, but there is no point in stressing about it as it has happened and it will sort itself out again. It’s also possible nothing will happen. Sit back and try not to worry, and focus on taking it correctly again x
