I missed a birth control pill but took a Plan B, will I be okay?

[Anonymous]

So this week I was super stressed from tests and things as I’m in college.

I am on the combined birth control pill Mirvala 28 and I usually take them at 10 pm every day, never missed one. I took my pill regularly on Monday, but I completely forgot about Tuesday’s dose, and when I went to go take Wednesdays pill I saw realized I forgot and just took both pills at the same time. So at that point it had been almost 48 hours since I took my last pill.

I went over to my boyfriends house Thursday, and didn’t think to tell him so we had unprotected sex and he came inside me.

So I freaked out and the next day went and bought a Plan B and took it, 15 hours after the unprotected sex, and then just took my birth control pill like normal that night (which was yesterday)

My boobs are extremely sore and I have some lower cramps but just barely.

Did I do the right thing? Am I going to be okay? I told my boyfriend we’d just hold off sex until next week when I get my period because at that point I had only had 3 active pills left before my placebo week.

Hey guys thank you for your answers they put me at ease! Got my period yesterday (or withdrawal bleed) so we’re all good! Not pregnant woo!

Taking the plan B pill was likely overkill. Combination pills will not lose their effectiveness after one missed pill, unless you had forgotten several pills previously in that cycke (which you hadn't). The plan B pill won't hurt the effectiveness of your regular pills but it was unnecessary and caused you symptoms as the hormonal content is much greater than what you're used to. In the future you don't need to stress about missed pills if you didn't miss several in a row and hadn't previously missed any in that cycle. You also don't need to wait to have sex as the effectiveness of your pills hasn't diminished

In this case use pregnancy test and basically you will be fine might your period will delay as well

I think you did the right thing. As long as you are not over 165 pounds and hadn't already ovulated you should be fine. Plan B doesn't work if you weigh more than 165 pounds. The thing is that your period is going to be screwed up for a while until everything gets regulated again. There are already several active questions on GAG about screwed up cycles after taking Plan B.
