Okay, first of all, if you're missing 5
active pills, you need to use backup!
Simple as that! Birth control can only be
effective when taken properly, and this
means taking each active pill at the same
time everyday! You need not take the
"reminder" pills, but you must start your
new pack 7 days after you've ended the
active pills, so taking the reminder pills
can help. I don't know what to tell you,
there is a possibility that you could be
pregnant. I suggest you look into
emergency contraception if it's not too
late. You can get it at any planned
parenthood or women's center. Check out
both of these websites, they might
help...And take a home pregnancy test!
^^ this website offers information on your
type of birth control. You're using a
combination pill, that means you're taking
prostrogen and estrogen together. These
are typically more effective tahn
prostrogen only pills.
^^this website is from the planned
parenthood website (compliments of
hotasfrick, thanks again girl!). It
offers information on different types of
emergency contraception!
I highly suggest you become educated on
birth control! Please! Do your reading!
And good luck to you!
