Can Missed Taking In Qlaira Combined Contraceptive Pill Result In Ovulation And Compromise Pill S Efficiency?
Hi, I have a question regarding the qlaira combined contraceptive pill. I missed two days of the pill, Thursday and Friday. I realised on Saturday, so took Friday and Saturday s pills on Saturday, leaving Thursday s pill in the pack. I noticed some stretchy, egg white type cervical mucus on Saturday and am now wondering whether the missed pills resulted in ovulation. I had unprotected sex on Saturday evening and on Sunday (today). Does this significantly compromise the pill s efficacy?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Normally one missed pill is not considered a problem and it can be taken with the next days dose, but if two doses have been missed the instructions are to discontinue the pills, use another form of contraceptive and report to your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
