I started my new pack of birth control on sunday but only took sunday and monday, by the next sunday i realized i forgot tuesday through saturday and now i have started what seems like my period again.. should i start taking the pills again or wait until my period ends.. for the second time in 3 weeks..
Hi, What should be the action required if you missed taking one or more pills depends upon what type of birth control pill you are using, hence you should go through the literature enclosed with the pack. Its common to experience bleeding during the week following the missed pills. As a general guideline continue taking 1 pill every day until you have completed the pack and do not take the missed pills. Take extra precaution for contraception till the next cycle. Hope this will help you. Take care.
