I've cocked up on my pill, tell me it'll be ok!

Last Thursday I forgot to take my pill and realised about 15 hours later! DH and I last got jiggy on the Saturday previous to this, so five days between having sex and missing my pill.

What are the chances of me getting pg ? At the mo its really not the right time, but if I am we'd be fine!

Any advice ?

It is vanishingly unlikely, especially as it sounds as if you are midway through your packet. Just take immediately and carry on. You can normally take the regular pill 24 hours later with no problems.

Ok! Thanks. I was 4 pills from the end of the pack, and we've been extra careful for the last few days.

I'd like to be pg but as DH has a yr left at uni, its not great timing!

If you miss pills in the last week of the pack it is the most dangerous time - you are extending your 7 day break effectively. So you need to run the next pack straight on without a break.
