Question: I am currently taking Microgynon and have missed a pill, what should I do?
Answer: It really is important that you take your Pill everyday to maximise its effects against pregnancy. The best advice is to follow the packet instructions, so always keep a set handy just in case you need to refer to it. Missed a pill within the last 12 hours? Take your pill straight away and you will still be protected against pregnancy. Did you take your pill more than 12 hours ago? Skip the last pill and take the next one as normal. Use a condom for 7 days to protect against pregnancy. Missed the last pill in the pack? Skip the dose, your period will start one day earlier. Start your next pack after the 7 day gap, this will be a day early too.
