Missed hormone pills
Posted: 06-09-08 08:26am

So I was on the last week of hormone pills, but I went on a small vacation with my family and lo and behold, forgot to bring my pills! I missed three in a row, and had lost the directions so I took all three at once. The next day my period started, whether jump started by the hormones or because I missed the pills....

I've been taking the hormone pills since and have been bleeding through my last week of hormone active pills. Should I continue and take the non-hormone pills and bleed for another week of start a new pack?

I am not sexually active... so there isn't any emergency Razz

thanks!

I would really call a pharmacist.... my gut is to keep taking them as you are supposed to (stay on your schedule), but you really shouldn't have taken 3 pills at once, so I don't really know what you are supposed to do in that situation.

HELP ME PLEASE I AM SO CONFUSED!!

Well i would love to call my gyno but frankly hes a total ass and rushed me off the fone to help older women with menopause and other crap when i could possibly be pregnant.

I take medroxyprogesterone acetate for my irregular periods (because w/o them I never get my period on my own) and I recently had to take the plan b pill because my boyfriend and i had an accident. Then I took medroxyprogesterone acetate 3 days later to get my period and im still waiting for it to come (its been 2 days "late"). Am I pregnant or is my cycle just screwey because of the plan b pill? Am i paranoid or should i go and take a pregnancy test? HELP ME PLEASE REPLY I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

I'm sure your cycle is just screwy because of the plan b, it does that. But I'm not really sure how it works with the medroxyprogesterone. I think your best bet is to call your pharmacist.

Like I said, though, don't expect your period to be regular after you take plan b!
