Skipped two birth control pills?


i have taken combination birth control for almost a year now. it's a long story, but i lost the FIRST two pills in the pack this month, so i just skipped them and started on tuesday with that pill (i'm a sunday start).

how long until i'm protected again?

take the skipped two right away and get back on track. then use condoms for the next week...AT LEAST. Usually if you've taken the pill for a while (and a year I think would constitute as a while) it will take you're body sometimes a month to kick the hormone completely out so you can become pregnant again. So I wouldn't worry too much but I would be cautious cause after all, you're taking a birth control pill for a reason-NO BABY! Good luck and try to stay on track a Little more careful next time.

You should use a backup method of contraception for seven days.

about a week, but if i were you i would wait two just to make sure. that way you know that you are protected and you don't have to worry about it.

I would wait two to four weeks before having intercourse without a condom. Of course, the pill isn't 100% affective so I would be very careful and use condoms for about a month.

Probably at least 7 days. The pages I read said that if you start two days late, double up on those pills (so take four over two days) and then use condoms for 14 days.

they say a week or two, but to be safe and certain a month i think??
