Birth Control Problem..new pack? Posted: 12-10-07 19:54pm
Hi,
So I've been on the pill for about 6
months now. The other day, I got my
period, but I'm only two weeks into my
pills..I should still have another week
and a bit until I get my period. After I
got it, I checked my pills and I realized
I had forgotten to take two. Is that most
likely the reason I got my period early?
And then, I'm wondering, should I start a
new pack as though I'm starting from the
beginning? Or should I just keep going
with the current pack of pills I'm
taking??
Thanks for your help.

If you missed two pills for two days and
didn't take any those two days then yes,
that can cause bleeding if the missed
pills just happened.
NO. The only reason to start a new pack
would be if you missed 2 pills in the
third week. Keep taking your pills. Take
two today and two tomorrow in order to
catch up. If you had sex on the second day
you forgot a pill you could be pregnant
but the fact that you're bleeding says
otherwise.
You also need to use protection for one
week past the days you forgot the pills.

Thank you so much for your response! I'm
glad to know that I should stick with the
same pack that I'm on (I was going to
start a new pack but I thought maybe I
should ask for some advise first).
