Birth control packs always start on
Sunday. I didn't get to the pharmacy
until Tuesday. On Tuesday, instead of
looking into it further, I just took the
two days that I missed and Tuesday's pill
all at once. I had terrible nausea and
anxious feelings all Tuesday night that I
kept waking up from while sleeping. I'm
wondering if the fact that I took all 3
pills at once is related to it or if it
was just stress. I'd also like to know
what I should have done and if I need to
be doing anything different now? Please
let me know if you have the answer or an
idea, I'd appreciate it greatly, I really
need to know what's going on.
You shouldn't take 3 pills in one day but
you should take 2 pills in Tuesday and
another 2 in Wednesday. That nausea could
be due to the excessive dose you took in
Tuesday. But what is done is done and now
you can continue taking one pill for each
day. Don't be surprised if you get some
unexpected spotting.
It is very important to use additional
contraception (condom) or to avoid sex
during the first 7 days after missing the
pills.
