Is it possible to take loestrin 24 within 35 hours of each other and not get preggers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe ... but risky!: These work by 'fooling your body' that you're already pregnant, so no egg released = no pregnancy. The last week of pills have no hormones usually, and start a period. If you space your pills significantly more than 24 hours apart, this 'fooling' my not happen, and you could release an egg = possible pregnancy. Best = stop pills, have period, restart new pack. Use foam and condoms until new pk.
