Good morning, if I miss a Limetic tablet, will the retroactive protection be maintained? I have been taking tablets for 5 months.

For the first time in 2 years of using limetic tablets, I happened to skip a tablet. It was the 23rd tablet of 28 on the blister . What is the risk of pregnancy?

To @Martaxx: It all depends on which tablets from the blister were affected by the situation. According to the manufacturer: "If the tablet was missed in the first week after starting Limetic and sexual intercourse took place in the week preceding the missed tablets, the possibility of pregnancy should be taken into account." Thus, the risk of weakening the effectiveness of contraception is the greater the closer to the beginning of each package.
Hi, I also have a question about limetic tablets and please help. Thursday I took a pill and had sex, on Friday and Saturday I will not take because I left and forgot the pills ... if there is no chance of getting pregnant if I had sex on Thursday and took a pill but Friday and Saturday in total only on Sunday evening I will be able to take..

If the delay in taking the Limetic tablet is longer than 12 hours, the contraceptive effectiveness of the preparation may be reduced. According to the data provided by the manufacturer, this applies to each tablet. The risk is greater the closer to the beginning of each package. In the case of two-component tablets, it is important to continue using contraception correctly. At the time of discontinuation of the use of hormonal preparations at "any" time, there is a risk of pregnancy.
Thank you very much for your reply. I don't know if he interprets it well... each missed limetic tablet (taken after 36 hours) causes a lack of protection of retroactive relations because as a result of not taking the tablet in the body can immediately ovulation occur? And it does not matter if it is the first or fifteenth tablet from the new next blister? What Katarzyna Domagała wrote below does not apply only to two-component tablets, which are a week break between packages?

To @ Alice: The use of single-component contraceptives, such as Limetic, involves taking only one type of hormone. The use of the preparation does not replace completely natural hormones produced in the woman's body. Additional hormones administered in the Limetic tablet affect, m.in, inhibition of ovulation.
And I could ask you to explain why it applies to each first week (from each subsequent blister) and not the general "start" of the pills taken? If each tablet has the same composition and you do not take breaks between subsequent blisters, how does the body know that about the "next first week"?

Jeśli pominęła Pani tabletkę z pierwszego tygodnia to stosunki 7 dni wstecz nie są zabezpieczone. Informacja ta dotyczy każdego pierwszego tygodnia stosowania pigułek.
Pominęłam w 1 tygodniu nowego opakowania, przerwa była dłuższa niż 12h, w ulotce jest informacja ze ochrona wstecz nie jest zachowana w przypadku 1 tygodnia rozpoczęcia przyjmowania tabletek. Nie wiem jednak czy chodzi tu o każdy nowy blister czy ogólny moment rozpoczęcia antykoncepcji.

To zależy, w którym tygodniu pominęła Pani tabletkę oraz czy przyjęła ją Pani z opóźnieniem, czy w ogóle.
