On Tri-sprintec For Nearly 3 Months, Missed A Pill Day After Having Sex. Help?
UpdatedSince starting Tri-Sprintec, I have been taking the pill everyday close to the scheduled time. I've had no adverse reactions and my period as normal.
Earlier this week, I had realized I missed a pill when I went to bed so I took it as soon as I woke up then took my regular pill as scheduled. Because I'm in the fire dept, I can't guarantee taking the pill everyday at the same time. However, my doctor said that because I'm on the combi pill, I don't have to take it at the EXACT same time everyday, just within 24 hours of the scheduled time. So this week, my timing has been a little wonky because of work.
I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend and have not been having any issues as of yet. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex last night and through the course of events today, I somehow lost my pack which had two colored pills left in week 3. Since it's past my scheduled time and the pharmacy is closed, I will have to wait til tomorrow and take both of them tomorrow to play catch up.
Is it worth going to buy a new pack for those last two pills, or should I just count 9 days (2 blue and 7 white) and then start my pack as scheduled and wait til I'm through the first week of colored pills to have unprotected sex again?

I certainly wouldn't waste the money on a packet for just 2 pills, only to run short again the next month and the next and so on, just creating a cycle of it, so to speak.
If it were me, I'd just use backup protection for the first week of the next month to start them on time and just skip the two missing pills.
If you're in double about pregnancy in the meantime, there is always the emergency contraception pill that's sold at most pharmacies.
Just make sure there aren't any medical reasons that may not allow you to do so, so you might want to double check everything with your pharmacist or doctor.
