Forgetfulness...a late or forgotton pill = worry

[TheGirlHasNoName]

I have currently been using Dianette for 4 months now and so far all has gone well, apart from occasionally taking my pill late but within 12 hours. My usual time of taking it is 11am however a few weeks back i took it on the saturday at around 1pm in the afternoon, deciding this was a better time i intended on taking it at this time from then on. Sunday came and i forgot to take it at 1pm, had sex at around 7pm and remembered at 12.20am and took it then. So theoryetically i wasn't late according to the day before however i followed the instruction for missing/taking a pill more than 12 hours late, and used used extra protection (condoms) for the next 7 days and for precaution ever since. however i am slightly worried that i could possibly be pregnant. i have been sick but only after a nite out celebrating my As level results and was sick due to mixing my drinks i think and have felt fine since. This is my week off and my period should come by friday, i have been moody and showing signs of PMT, even a slight few period pains. if my period does not come i will take a test, my bf is very supportive however we both do not want a baby so if i were to be pregnant i would opt for an abortion however i am 80% sure that i am not. Just wanted some advice really? has anyone ever forggotton to take their pill or taken it late?

Yes, I have forgotten to take it once. You should follow the instructions that came with your pills about what to do if you've missed one. You probably shouldn't have sex again until you get your period to be on the safe side. I think it's probably really unlikely that you're pregnant.
