Q

A 23-year-old woman phones at 11am for advice. She is taking the combined oral contraceptive (COC) pill Microgynon. She started her new pack of 21 tablets at the usual time and is now on day 6 of the new pack. However, she has forgotten yesterday’s pill. She last had unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI) two days ago. She is normally a consistent pill taker and had been taking the COC as directed prior to the pill-free interval.

A

Take missed pill and today’s pill and continue packet
According to the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) guidelines, in this scenario, the recommendation is to take the missed pill as soon as possible and continue the remaining pills at the usual time. Emergency contraception is not required.

This only applies if the first pill in week 1 after the pill-free interval has been taken correctly and she has been consistent with taking the pills in the 7 days prior to the pill-free interval. If there is any doubt around this then emergency contraception may be considered especially if unprotected sexual intercourse has also occurred.
