A member asked:

I am taking ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol). if i started my pack a day late and haven't been taking my pills at the same time every day for the first week do i need plan b?

NO: Plan B should be used only as emergency contraception after unprotected sexual intercourse. I think it is a good idea to get in the habit of taking your pills on a regular daily basis. Do not miss any other pills.

Probably: The first week of the package is the most important for protection against pregnancy. Try setting an alarm in your phone to help you remember and be safe.
