Is the pill still effective?

I've been taking the pill pretty irregularly all week. I usually take it every day at 1 p.m., but sometimes I've taken it at 11 p.m., and a week or two ago, I completely forgot to take it (I then took two the next day because I read that online; I have no idea if that was correct). Is it even still effective? I'm worried it's no longer effective as a contraceptive.

Hello

If you forget the pill and take it within the recommended 12 hours (provided it is in the package note that you can take a forgotten pill within 12 hours) then you are still protected. You must then always make sure that the time difference between taking two pills is never greater than 36 hours (24+12). If you have not taken it within 12 hours (at the Zoely, Yaz, Slinda, Daylette 24+4 Placebos, 24 hours, but does not apply in the first week), then it depends on the week of taking it:

In the first week of adoption: The missed pill immediately decrease even if you have to take 2 pills at the same time. Then continue normal again. But the next 7 days, at the Qlaira 9 days, in any case additionally prevent. In the case of GV during the 7 days prior to the taking error there is also the possibility of pregnancy.

In the second week of adoption: Take the forgotten pill immediately, even if you have to take 2 pills at the same time. Then continue normal again. If the previous 7 days the pill was taken regularly, the protection is still present, even during the break. If you forget more than one pill then you have to additionally prevent the next 7 days and in the break you are only protected if the pill was taken regularly 14 days ago.

In the third take-off week: either take the pill further and start with the next blister without a break, or immediately take 7 days (no longer) break (the day of the forgotten pill must then be counted as the first break day) and then start with the next blister. In both cases, protection is preserved.

When picking up (reducing the possibility of intermediate bleeding) it is best to use the last pill of the blister, then you do not get messed up with the days (but only for pills without placebos).

At the Cerazett, Damara, Desofemono, Desogestrel, Jubrele, Aristo, Feanolla, Solgest and lyzbetthe next 7 days must be additionally prevented for each error.

At Belara, Belissima, , Chariva, Chloee, Enriqua, Lilia, Minette, Mona-Hexal, Neo-Eunomin and Trigoa, the next 7 days must be additionally prevented for each error and the break must be omitted

In case of an error, it is important to read in the package immediately how to react to the error.

A very good advice from , community expert for pills

“Get this place on the edge so you can find it quickly if you need it!”

To avoid forgetting the pill, you can save the memory into your phone. You can also place the pack next to the coffee machine, next to the coffee cups or next to the toothbrush.

Our many years of experience has shown that it is safer to take the pill in the morning. You usually stand up at the same time and when you get up on the weekend, the difference in time doesn’t matter if you’re in the package leaf of the pill that you can take a forgotten pill up to 12 hours (some pills can only be taken up to 3 hours) without losing protection. Besides, you have time to take a forgotten pill all day. In the evening, you’re more on the go, and you’ll see the time.

If you forget a pill, check out what to do in the BEIPACKZETTEL, not on the Internet. This can vary depending on the intake week and depending on the protection can have remained or not.

The pill take 1-2 h sooner or later is not a problem, but if you have regular fluctuations of up to 10 h when taking, I would not rely on the protection of the pill. If you have taken a pill 3 h earlier and the other one then 10 h after the actual intake time, the 12 h is already exceeded (if you can take your pill up to 12 h later, without it being considered forgotten, there are also mini pills with which it is only 3 h, then the protection would be gone anyway).

The solution is simple. Prevent this month additionally with condom or diaphragm and play no Russian roulette.

Sounds like you should think about the pill as a contraception and prefer to use a 3-month syringe or a spiral.

Obviously, this is not the right contraceptive for you.
