Missed BC pill alter monthly cycle
Posted: 03-07-08 10:33am

Okay so heres the deal, I always take my pill regualrly etc... well last night I went to take my pill and took it out of the package (I had just put lotion on) it slipped out of my fingers and went down the drain :(

I paniced and took fridays pill. Will in the end missing that one pill screw me up?

I know I am a moderator on the teen pregnancy forum and all and I preach taking birth control and sticking with it.

I am not asking in reguards to pregnancy though, since I am not having any sex currently.

I am wondering in terms of my monthly cycle.

You should go ahead and open up another pack, and tomorrow, take that day's pill from the new pack. Then go back to your old pack on Sunday, since the days should line up again. That new pack is now you "oh no!" pack! So if you ever drop another one, you can just go find the pill for that day and take it ^^
