Hi, this is a great message board, thank you ladies for the advice you provide!

I have been on birth control for 5 years, never had a problem with it despite a few missed pill scares. Currently I am on Ocella, the generic of Yasmin. I am a Friday starter and am in the second week of the pack. I usually take the pill around 8 am. I took the pill on Friday morning, but somehow forgot on Saturday morning, and again this morning. And I had unprotected sex this morning. I remembered to take the Sunday pill around 4 pm today. Normally I feel that it is not the end of the world to be taking a pill 8 hours late, although it is obviously not ideal, so I was not too stressed when I went to take the pill. But! then I looked at the pack and saw in horror that I apparently forgot Saturday's as well, drrr.

So in effect I missed 1 1/3 pills - missed Saturday's and took Sunday's 8 hours late. I took both Saturday and Sunday's pills today at 4 pm. I am wondering whether I should double up on pills tomorrow? Should I try to get Plan B to protect against pregnancy from the unprotected sex this morning?

Thanks so much ladies, I really value your advice and the service you are providing to women!!
