My daughter is taking oral contraceptives. she is finishing her 2nd week but in the first week skipped one night doubled up the next then skipped the next night doubling up the following day. During the 2nd week she missed tues, wed, and thurs, and took two pills yesterday. Today she got her period. What should she do?
Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today. Since your daughter has missed up so many pills she has started her period now.
Let her throw away the remaining tablets and start the new pack of pills today. By doing so she will be protected against pregnancy from today. It is extremely important that she takes the pills almost at the same time daily. She can keep alarm or reminder in the mobile to help her take the tablets at the right time. She may practice taking it daily after dinner. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, contact me through Healthcare Magic.
Best wishes, Dr Rama
