Missed More Than 3 Birth Control Pills? Posted: 05-21-05 22:05pm
I recently started taking birth control
pills. I missed more than 3 pills, and
had a period. I thought this was normal
so I took 2 birth control pills that day.
Will taking those pills after missing 3
hurt me? And is it normal to have a
period if pills are missed?

Techinally after missing 3 or more bc
pills you sould throw the pack away and
start a new one, well thats what mine
tells me, I think certain brands vary, but
most should come with instructions and
tell you what to do if you miss some. And
having your period after missing pills
basically just means your lucky you didnt
get pregnant while missing your pills so
you started your period like you normally
would. In future when you notice you
missed say 1 pill you should just take it
as soon as possible even if it means
taking 2 pills in the same day, and after
missing more then one pill you should use
another form of birth control for 10 days,
like a condom ect. If your sexually
active within that time. Hope some of
this helped you :)
