Take Sprintech Birth Control, But Missed Dosage. Started Periods. Further?
Yes, I take sprintech 28 birth control, and on my last packet I missed pills but took them the next day. I then started my period a week before I should've. Well I've been taking my pill regularly but I've been on my period for 28 days now. My dad is a RN and has been for 20 something years, I'm on my last week of blue pills, then next week I started my period so could I just go ahead and replace this week with my period week? And see if that helps?

Hello ma'am.
First of all, the irregularity of your pill taking schedule will have to be reported and secondly, there is a reason why this regimen exists. I would advice you against experimenting and to visit your doctor at the earliest to find the safest and most logical solution.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
