Hi,  

Not sure if I took my Cerazette within the 12 hour window, could have been a few hours over so I took it when I remembered then took another one again at the usual time. This was yesterday evening (usual time). I haven’t had sex for 6 days because of my period which has just about finished. As I wasn’t sure if I took the pill on time I was planning on either using additional contraception for two days or not having sex for those two days. But now I am wondering if it is actually 7 days I need to be careful for? It’s cerazette if that makes a difference? So the question is if I take a pill again tonight and then again tomorrow night can I start having sex tomorrow night as that will be 48 hours after missing the pill and retaking or do I have to wait 7 days?!

Many thanks
