Slight confusion about the pill
Hi everybody, just a quick question about the pill;
I just finished a pack and am now on my period. My period should be over around Tuesday-Wednesday next week, however, because I have been so busy and distracted by uni, I didn't realize I have no more strips left.
The first chance I have to go to my GP to get a new prescription would be Wednesday. If I finish my period Monday or Tuesday, and only get the pills on Wednesday and take the first one form the pack that day, will it still be safe to have unprotected sex (Long term boyfriend, both tested, etc) or because I missed a day of taking the pill, should I be waiting?
I'd just like to make sure that things will be as safe as they should be on the pill.. because I know if you miss two or more pills it gets dangerous.
I hope this makes sense... please help me out! :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
The rule my GP told me to go by when on the pill is the 7 day rule.. If you miss it you aren't protected for the next 7 days.. missing it can include throwing it up or taking it 12 hours later than your usual time as well as not taking it for a couple days..so I recommend using a condom for the next 7 days once you start your new pack..
Hope this helped :)

For each pill you miss your chance of pregnancy increases, so it depends how much you want to risk it. I would use another method as well for a little while to make sure.
