Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Today is the 13th day after the miscarriage. The doctor previously prescribed estradiol valerate tablets, telling me to take one a day, and not to miss a dose. However, I forgot to take it two days ago and yesterday, so I missed two doses. Then, I took one at 6 a.m. today. Do I need to take another one today?Doctor's answer:
If you miss a dose, you can take one pill today to make up for it. That is to say, if you usually take one pill, you should take two pills today. I don't know if you are currently experiencing abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. This is a combined short-acting contraceptive pill. If you miss a dose, you need to take another pill within 12 hours. Generally, you need to take another pill within 12 hours, and then continue taking it as usual. That is, you need to take two pills today. Otherwise, it may cause irregular bleeding.
