So, I’m on Trinovum—and it’s been seven days since my last pill—but I didn't make it home this weekend (my mistake...) and I haven't picked up a new pack yet. I can grab them over the counter here, so I don't even have a prescription on me. How smart is it if I wait until Friday to start back up, which would be day 10 of the break? That's when I finally get back home... or does anyone happen to know if I can just pick up Contraceptive pills in downtown Chicago without a script? If I don't start again until day 10, how much am I actually cutting into my protection?

I’m not sure if anyone here has run into this before, but I figured it was worth asking... I've been taking Diane 35, but I recently dealt with a urinary tract infection and had to take some Nirvanna along with my birth control. I know antibiotics can sometimes mess with how well contraception works, but it doesn't explicitly say if this specific one counts as a true antibiotic. Does anyone happen to know anything about this? It's making us pretty nervous about whether we need to use a condom—we're both a little worried about the possibility of pregnancy...
