so my best friend missed 2 days of taking her Birth Control, and on the third day she took 3 to make up for the ones she missed. She had sex a month ago unprotected, -and missed taking her pill a week or 2 after sex- Now she got her period Wednesday morning and now she has a light period is this cuz she took 3 pills? or could she be pregnant?

Your friend needs to find a birth control method she can stick to. Taking birth control pills willy nilly isn't a good birth control method! If she suspects pregnancy, she needs to take a PREGNANCY TEST! If she is not pregnant, she needs to invest in a birth control that is more convenient to her lifestyle. Condoms are a good option when you've missed pills.

shes not pregnant. but if you miss 2 pills you need to start over you cant just take all you missed ones at once. you can only do that if you miss one pill. if she cant still to her bc pills she needs to get off then because shes screwing with the hormones in her body.

the package says not to take three pills at once, its not safe. maybe you should look into a different type of BC

Bellax0x, I hate to tell you but it IS just luck. You need to shape up and get on schedule with those pills or one day you luck is going to run out and you WILL get pregnant being so irresponsible.
