I'm 18 and I just started the pill. I've been taking it for (around) a week and a half. Tonight I seemed to have misplaced it and missed a pill. Am I able to take two tomorrow or do i need to throw the pack away and start a new one ? Also i know you're supposed to take it at the same time everyday. If i take it at 11 one day 11:15 another , 11:30 another all within that time frame am I okay?

You don't need to take two tomorrow, just figure out how many days you have been on it, and then count the number of pills. Tomorrow, just take the next one along. You should take it at exactly the same time every day, otherwise it may not work correctly. If you ever miss a pill again, just make sure to take extra precautions if you are having sex. -
You SHOULD take it around the same time, I'm on the pill also and I take it between 1030-11. I think a half an hour time frame is great. As long as its not hours after/before then you should be fine
Don't throw the pack away, those things are expensive :P

Just take the next one. Missing one pill is usually no big deal.Comment
