Had Sex. Missed Pills. On Microgynon. What Now?
Hi,
I am on microgynon 30 ed and missed two pills in one monthly cycle. I missed the first in the second week by 12 hours and then the second, 8 days later in the third week (3 days before my pack ended) about 14 hours late. I cjecked my lealet and it said I could miss 2 pills anywhere in pack and not need extra protection or miss pill free break, so I took my placebos as normal. I had sex on day 3 after the placebos and now, ( 3 days after) im feeling abdominal cramps. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Hi,
welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM.
Let me first reassure you that there is neither any chance of pregnancy nor does the abdominal cramps are any sign of pregnancy.
Let me explain the reason. The best of the reason is you have had sex after 3 days of placebo tablets that means around 24th day of cycle, which is totally away form the day of ovulation so there isn't any remote possibility of fertilization. For the abdominal cramps which are actually occurring from 6 days after the placebo tablets were taken or you can say 27th day of cycle, so are are actually a sign of pre menses or beginning of your normal menstrual cycle. Also you should know that abdominal craps are never a sign of any sort of early pregnancy.
Now for your further knowledge and future protection make it very sure that you are not missing the hormonal tablet beyond 12 hours otherwise you would be needing an extra protection.
So enjoy the day and relax.
Hope this information will help you.
