A member asked:

Good about taking loestrin 24 fe for 2 years. missed one pill 2 weeks ago, took 2 at the regular time the next day. is that enough time to ovulate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Missed pill: Usually you can miss one pill a month and still be safe. However, you are on a low dose pill, so a condom backup is probably the safe choice this month.
