I Lost a Pill
Posted: 02-04-05 11:03am

I dropped a pill and lost it. I've been taking them every day since, but of course, now i'm short a pill at the end of the cycle. Does it matter? I realize I will get my period a day earlier. Should I get a new pack and just take one from it? Seems like a waste of a whole pack, plus i'll be short one pack before my refill. Any help?

Nah, dont take one out of a new pack. Missing one is no big deal, it happens to everyone. You should be alright... I did the same thing once, and I just got my period a day earlier. Dont you worry miss!

Hey if u loose a pill your suppose to take one from the end of the packet if there is the same day etc left. Read the booklet.. If you miss it you have to use protection!

As long as you did not miss a pill and just took the next one,you should be fine.Yes,you will get your period a day or so earlier,but as long as you start as you are supposed to,your next period should be fine.
