Hi, Im Andrea.. 33yrs old been taking Diane 35 Contraceptive pills for almost 4yrs straight, but I missed 1 pill recently.I Started my last pack last July 14, 2013 (8:00pm), I missed the 14th pill to be taken July 27, 2013 (8:00pm), I took it July 28, 2013 (5:00am) after remembering, then I continued the remaining up to last pill August 3, 2013 (8:00pm). I just want to know my chances of getting pregnant, and any advice to clear my mind.. Thanks in Advanced..
Hello ma'am. Your situation is encountered quite often and in case one dose/pill is missed it is advised to take two at the earliest the time you remember and also use a second form of contraception if you indulge in sexual intercourse around this time, but if a third dose is missed you will have to discontinue the whole course and report to a doctor at the earliest. In such a scenario I would advise you to take a home pregnancy test with an early morning urine sample 2 weeks from the date you missed your pill. You might have to conduct 2-3 such tests to confirm the result. Your chances are low, but pregnancy will still have to be ruled out. Hope this helps. Take care.
