Is Pregnancy Possible While On Cerazette Pills?

Hi, I ve had a nightmare this weekend. I took my pill (cerazette) on Thursday night, then the next morning couldn t find my pill packet and couldn t remember taking it and took another Friday morning from my spare packet. (Later I found the pill packet and realised I had taken Thursday night) On Friday I was travelling home from holiday and my airline lost my luggage with my pill packets inside. So I could not take my pill Friday night. I got an appointment on Saturday morning to get a new pill packet and took a pill around 11am and then one again Saturday night. I last had unprotected sex earlier in the week, maybe Tuesday? And I plan to use condoms for 7 days Should I have taken the morning after pill? Any chance of pregancy Kind Regards

Hi,

I see that you have a problem with a missed pill.

It is good that you were able to take the pill as soon as possible. An important note to remember is that if you forgot to take it less than 12 hrs late, taking it as soon as you remember and taking the next one at its usual time will still protect you from pregnancy. If you are more than 12 hrs late and missed one pill only, same rules apply but if you missed more than 2 pills, continue taking them as usual and use an extra method like as you mentioned using condoms for next 7 days. You said you were able to take the pill on Saturday morning which is good. Continue taking the pill as it is. If you are not confident, there is no harm in using an extra method. There is no need to take a morning after pill as you did not have sex the night you did not take the pill.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manuel C See IV,
