The bleeding is from the miss. You should use a condom for 7 days after the miss. Progesterone only pills are very specific on what to do and he told you correctly. Contraceptive protection may be reduced if more than 36 hours have elapsed
between two tablets. If the user is less than 12 hours late in taking any tablet, the
missed tablet should be taken as soon as it is remembered and the next tablet should
be taken at the usual time. If she is more than 12 hours late, she should use an
additional method of contraception for the next 7 days. If tablets were missed in the
first week and intercourse took place in the week before the tablets were missed, the possibility of pregnancy should be considered.

Thanks for your response,im getting a bit confused now tho as i was adviced by the doctor who prescribed me with this zelleta tablet that whenever i missed a pill more than 12 hours i only need to use a protection for two days while continuing taking the pill as normal then i will be safe from getting pregnant.
