Althea Missed Pills

I forgot to take 1 pill in the first pack. I saw that I still had my last pill. It is possible to get pregnant?

REPORT

Yes, every time you miss a pill, there is a risk of pregnancy, according to NIH reports, though the risk is not very high, if you only missed one tablet. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and irregular bleeding.

If you are concerned, there is never any harm in checking for pregnancy, to be sure.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I am on my 4th month of taking althea... After my 7 day rest, instead of taking it on my 8th day at 9pm i took it the next day at 9am? Is there any possibility of pregnancy? I had unprotected intercourse during my rest day... Thanks.

Hello. It's been 8 mos. since my last mentruation. Then I started taking althea pills last July 23. My boyfriend and I had an intercourse with no protection last July 24. I took the last pill August 13 and until now I don't have menstruation. I just want to know if I can get pregnant with that scenario. Thanks.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Did you experience a period, yet?

Some women stop having periods entirely, while taking oral contraceptives, according to NIH reports.

However yes, if you were intimate just one day after starting it then there is a risk of pregnancy. These tablets are not effective immediately.

Hi, I'm new here. Hope you can help me.. I'm taking althea regularly, pero last week we went out of town for 2 nights, i forgot to bring my pills. Thursday night ung last na inom ko po (i usually take my pills po around 10pm), friday night hndi ako nakainom. Umuwi po kmi ng sat almost midnight, i took both friday pill and saturday pill right away saturday 12mn. But during those days, wala naman po kming contact ni hubby. We just had unprotected contact the following day, sunday. And i continue to take the pill normally. I'm worried if the pill i missed po will cause me to be preggy? What should i do po? Please help. Thanks in advance. God bless.

Hi. I've been taking althea pills for a year now. But this morning when I checked, I already took the Friday pill accidentally last night, which was to be taken supposedly tonight, when I should only be on the Thursday pill only. My next pill on the pack is the Saturday one. What should I do? Should I skip tonight and continue tomorrow?

I’ve been taking Althea pills since May 2016. I already finished my 21 tablets last September 11. However, I checked my tablet usage just this morning and found out that I forgot to take my 20th pill. But I took my 21st pill and I did not notice I did not take the 20th pill. What will happen? I had unprotected intercourse during my 7 days of being tablet free. What should I do now?
