Q: Is It Okay to Take My Pill the Day After the Correct Day?

Hi. Sometimes I miss my pill, so I take it the next day. I get really moody at times, and I just don't take them for atleast 2 days. Then to catch up, I take my pills on the same day. For example, I miss taking a pill on friday, so I take it on saturday and forget to take my saturday pill, so to catch up, I take both my saturday and sunday pill on the same night. Please help! Also, i've been feeling very moody and I get pains in the least expected spots on my chest and my thighs.

I hope you're not having unprotected sex, as you are at risk. That's really what missing your pills does. The moodyness probably comes from being on the pills, period. The can make some women's horomone balance go wacky, and they get moody and generally pre-menstrual.

Haha.... No i'm not having sex at all. Been there done that! I only take them to regulate my period. That and my health is the only reason why I am worried.

I don't understand how you could be in a bad mood and just don't take the pill. Are you angry at the pill? It doesn't take much to swallow the pill. Also with taking the pills and not when you feel like it will probably do something to your body. One day you take it and then the next no... But the third day yout ake two. You are messing with the hormones in your body which may be why you are so moody. If that's nto it than switch to another pill.
