How do I manage forgetting to take Micronor so I don't get pregnant?

32-year-old womanil y a 2 ans

Hello, I take the Micronor contraceptive pill because I am exclusively breastfeeding my 12 weeks old baby. I always take it at noon except yesterday (May 7), I forgot and took it at 3:50 pm (the same day). I have not had unprotected sex since May 1st so I am not afraid of getting pregnant.

Hello ma'am,

Practice guides indicate 2 days.

As a precaution, I suggest condom use for the next 7 days.

I would also encourage you to consult your pharmacist for a brief consultation regarding the appropriateness of emergency oral contraception.

Cordially
