Missed A Day

This is my third month taking sprintec. I completely overlooked taking the pill last Saturday and didn't realize until today when I took the pack out of the holder entirely. I've taken every pill at the same time except for last Saturday's. I therefore took two today. Should I be worried that skipping a pill and catching up today caused ovulation?

Yes, there is a risk of that, though only a slight one. You can use backup protection for the next 7 days, until you've made sure to take a pill each day, without missing any, so you'd be sure they are preventing ovulation, again.

Otherwise, the only thing you can really do is wait and see if you start your period, when it's due.

Oral OCs may also cause side effects, such as irregular bleeding, headache, irritability and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
