Lost One Pill Of Tri-previfem

I lost one pill (Tuesday) on the last week of active pills and just took the next days pill in replace of Tuesday's lost pill. I ended my active pills a day early and started taking the placebo pills on Saturday instead. I had intercourse on Saturday when I started the placebo pill. Did I need backup birth control when having intercourse? Should I take Plan B? I also plan on starting the new pack on this upcoming Saturday now. Thank you.

Hi Lala,

Sorry to hear about the lost pill. To my understanding each and every one of the active / inactive pills contain an equal measure of hormones or inert ingredients. So taking Wednesday's active tablet should not have caused any discernible differences from Tuesday's active tablet.

Concerning the possibility of becoming pregnant, it sounds like it may be in your best interest to take Plan B (backup birth control) as well for cautionary measure; or consider abstaining from intercourse until you get back on track with your normal prescribed dosing regimen.

Your prescribing doctor should be able to help you determine when and how to take your new pack in order to ensure you're protected during these 'special occasions'.
