Q: i take norethindrone contraceptive at the same time every day. i took it yesterday and had sex, but i missed today because i wont get my next pack until tomorrow. will i be protected from the sex yesterday?

: Conception is very less likely because but still possible because sperms are still alive in your genital tract for the next couple days and you still can ovulate after missing one dose.
