Missed pills and protection
Posted: 06-21-08 00:26am

This month, I missed my pills 3 or 4 times. I would miss a day but take 2 the next, like the instruction said. I been using extra protection this whole month just in case because I kept missing pills.
I'm going to skip my period on purpose because of vacation, do i need to use extra protection for the next month because I kept missing pills this month? In other words, how is my protection for the next month?

Also if anyone knows, how come missing one day of pill but taking two the next day make up for the protection? Why does a woman not ovulate after the first missed pill?

Set an alarm since you keep missing pills! I have one set on my phone jsut as backup in case i do forget...as for the next month..i think so long as you start the next pills ON time you should be fine so long as you dont miss anymore...though if i were you i'd wait 7 days just to be sure..but thats just me..just bc i'm so paranoid.....a woman doesn't ovulate bc the horomones are still in the body, so missing just one pill isn't a problem unless it continues to happen...if you continue to miss your pills like this you may want to look into another form of birth control..bc the more pills you miss the less effective it is
