Hi, Ophelia Maakganoto.
Thank you for writing.
This is the info I have for your pill. The risk of pregnancy can be low depending on the hours missed.
If you are less than 12 hours late when taking a tablet, the protection against pregnancy is
not reduced. Take the tablet as soon as you remember and then continue taking the tablets
again at the usual time.
If you are more than 12 hours late taking a tablet, the protection against pregnancy may be
reduced. Depending on the day of the cycle on which one tablet has been missed, use
additional contraceptive precautions e.g. a barrier method such as a condom.
Your period may still show. If it doesn't, test for pregnancy. HPTs are accurate 14-21 days after sex.
