Is Morning After Pill Advisable Post Missing A Contraceptive Pill?

I ve been using Levlen ED as a contraceptive but missed a pill last night. I ve read up online and it said if you ve had sex in the 7 days proceeding (which I have) to get either a doctors or pharmacists advice. I ve taken the missing pill as was suggested but I was wondering if I need to get the morning after pill also? Or if you have any further suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks for the query. I understood your problem.
No, If you have missed just one pill & replaced the missed pill within 12 hours.. you should continue with the pill disage as usual.. & don't need to take Morning after pill for extra protection.
Thanks.
