Should Emergency Contraceptives Be Taken On Missing Micronor?

I m on Micronor (a progesterone-only pill) for about 4 months now. I have taken the pill perfectly, with only one exception of taking a pill 4 hours late but I did not have sex for another week after that inciden . yesterday I had sex about an hour before I took my pill and he ejaculated. I am due to ovulate in 7 days. Should I take emergency contraception or am I sufficiently protected?

Hello
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question....
I wish to tell you that if you are taking progesteton only pill regularly and had unprptected sex,then also you are protected enough and need not to take any kind of emergency contraception....and even if you take emergency pill,there will not be any harm to you and it will give double protection...
But because your ovulation was due after a week of your unprotected sex, i dont think that you need to take any emergency pill...
Hope this will help you to clear your doubts...
