Completely Missed a Pill
Posted: 08-02-07 17:50pm

I normally am super at taking the pills at the exact same time every night. Well this pack that I just finished up, I got to Sunday when normally I would start taking the reminder pills, and I realized that at some point in the active pills I completely missed one. I went ahead and took it. I started spotting on Friday of last week (then I realized about the missed pill on Sunday and took it) Normally my period would have started on Tuesday. Well I've been spotting everyday since last Friday. Did I do the right thing in taking the pill on Sunday? I feel just like I normally do when I'm on my period except just spotting instead of actual bleeding. I'm kinda worried, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have any idea when you missed it? Normally taking two is the right thing to do, and it probably won't hurt you, but you really are only supposed to do that right after you missed it.

My guess is that you're fine, but I'm not really sure. Your period might be weird from taking two right before it.
