Yaz BCP Forgot to take one pill.... HELP - Birth Control Message Board

Hi,
my girlfriend has been on yaz birth control for about 6 months and got off her period Friday (Feb.20th) (5 days ago) and Tuesday she forgot to take her active pill and that night we had unprotected sex but I pulled out. I did not ejaculate in her so should we be worried? She took it this morning (Wednesday) along with her wednesday pill (2 pills at the same time) I think we are fine because of not going "in her" but I just want to be safe

keep in mind we did it in water which may sound odd but helps my case a little more

One More thing: Today she was experiencing a big head ache/migrane and i was wondering if that's normal because of taking 2 pills

Thanks so much!
-John

just one day off, she will be fine. It was probably the double pills that gave her the headache. Unless she misses 2 or more days, there's nothing to lose sleep over, especially since she's been on the pill for several months now.

Thank you for the response- I just get scared for her you know. Plus the fact a did ejecalute in her kind of reduces my worries but just the fact we had sex the day she forgot really scared me.

So I shouldn't worry at all?

Even if taken 100% perfectly, the pill is not 100% effective. There is always some risk. That said, being a day late ups the risk but not to a level you should freak out at. But you didn't ejaculate in her, so that probably reduced the risk back down.

I would be concerned that your gf isn't taking her pill properly though. If it starts to happen more often, you might consider a different form of birth control.
