A member asked:

On loestrin24fe, missed two white pills in week 2. had unprotected sex. took two pills next day like directions said is emergency contraception needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: But there is no way to tell unless you miss a period, then do a hpt. Better to not miss pills and then you won't have to worry about missing a period. Unprotected sex still leaves you open to infection w/hiv or std. Protected sex could have decreased your pregnancy worries as well.
