Have Been On Lo Loestrin Fe. Forgot To Take A Pill. Having Ovulation Pain. Test Showed High Fertility. What Is Going On?
Question: Good afternoon,
I have been on lo loestrin fe for 3.5 months. Last weekend was my wedding and I forgot to take my pill for 7 hours one day (took it as soon as I remembered and then the next day I took it at normal time). Two days later (my wedding day) I forgot again and went through the same process. I have been on my honeymoon 4 days and woke up this morning with ovulation pain onleft side. I took an ovulation test and it came up with "high fertility". What is going on? Am I in danger of of pregnancy?

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Since you have skipped two pills, that too during the peri ovulatory period, you are at a certain risk of pregnancy.
Right now, it would be the best bet for you to use condoms if possible for the remainder of your pack till you have your period.
For your next cycle, make sure that you take the pills on time and without fail.
Take care.
Please feel free to ask for further clarifications.
