Missed birth control question
I get my pills shipped every 3 months. This shipment was late and then I went out of town. I missed a week of taking them. WWYD? Start from the beginning of the pack, skip the month, or?
Thanks
Re: Missed birth control question
You missed the first week?
Start now and use a back-up form of birth control for the entire month (probably 2). Your period should start a week later, and then resume 3 weeks after you start your next pill pack.
Next time, ask your doctor to call-in an emergency pack to your local pharmacy so you don't miss your start date.
If you read the instructions that you get every month in the packet it will explain it to you.
(It's basically like you are starting the pill for the first time instead of just continuing the cycle you had already been in)
