Missed a pill...did I do this right? - Birth Control Message Board

I've never missed a pill before, and i'm just wondering If I took it right...

I take Tri-Sprintec [otc, generic], I normally take it around 10-11pm.
The pill I missed was week 2, day 7 [sunday start]. I took it sunday as soon as I remember at 1 pm. Then I took, my week 3, day 1 pill as normal between 10 - 11 pm.

Did I do that right? I know I have to be cautious for the next 2 weeks, JUST in CASE. But, I did take that correct right? That seems right from what I read in the insert.

That's correct. If you read your package insert, you'll see that there's no need to use a back up method, either. You should still be fully protected.

You did it right.

Oh, I don't remember seeing that on the insert. I was just looking at the abviated [sp] version though, not the full one. As I generally tear just that part keep it with them.

We have been using other protection -- just in case.

But i'm glad I did that right!
