A friend of mine told me that she had sex during the day (unprotected) then missed her pill that night, and the following 2 nights. is there a risk of her now becoming pregnant? Also should she finish the current packet and start the next one without a 7 day gap?

(She is unable to visit a doctor because her parents do not know she is taking the pill, someone else got it for her)

Ey, noticing its for a friend you care about being yourself in this case!!

If your on the pill and miss pills you can't catch up by taking double doses you can start a new pack but then your cycle should change... If you start on the pill you should wait until the day your period finishing before taking the pill or it will cause double periods in a month.

Doctors will help even without a parent or gaurdian! Also local pharmacy's will also help. Try getting a female to help I know its awkward talking to men about GIRL things

Good luck

As for you falling pregnant the risk is there! Consider taking The morning after pill within 3 day after sex! It costs 65 rand at pharmacy's the faster you drink it the more effective it is, I've drank it 2ce
