Hey I forgot to take my pills for the last couple days, Ive been really stressed out with school and my work load is crazy.. I just forgot but now i started my period today.. I took one of the pills.. but I dont know if i should keep goiin with the pills.. or what.. I did this a couple months ago and i kept taking my pills and it went away... and everything was back to normal. but i just dont understand which way is safer for me. Ive heard of people getting blood clots because of it..and I just wanna do the right thing. without too much of a mess hahaha

Thanks a lot!!

missing pills can cause withdrawal bleeding. you should never take more than 2 pills in a day. if you miss one pill, then you take it as soon as you remember, and then the other one at the regular time that day, and you're fine. but if you missed more than one you're supposed to throw out the pack and start a new one. and make sure you use a backup method if you have sex.
