I stopped taking microgonyn 30 for my 7 day break and I'm late starting the new pack i had sex in between and the condom broke! I've ordered the morning after pill to collect tonight but should I be worried & when should I start taking my normal pill again straight away?

Hi,

Thanks for the query.

The chances of pregnancy are directly proportional to the delay in starting the new pack, greater the delay higher the chances and so on.

However the chances of pregnancy from single act of unprotected contact are not so high. It is a good move to take the morning after pill. You may begin the new pack of regular pills the next day after you take the morning after pill. You will need additional protection for 7 days [condoms or any other] after starting the new pack. Also your period may be a bit irregular as the morning after pill and tablets have been started in the middle of the cycle.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
