This depends on which pill you’re taking. Read the ‘missed pill’ section of the pill’s pharmaceutical leaflet for further instruction. If you’re concerned contact your local sexual health clinic, contraception clinic or your GP as you may need to take emergency contraception.

Please see the Emergency Contraception links below:

• Emergency Contraception in North and North East Lincolnshire
• Emergency Contraception in Teesside
• Emergency Contraception in Oldham, Bury and Rochdale
• Emergency Contraception in Cheshire West and Chester

You must also use a back-up method of contraception while you are at risk of becoming pregnant. If you miss your period and have forgotten to take one of more, you should do a pregnancy test. Find out more about the combined Pill and the progestogen-only pill (POP).
