It is important to take your pills correctly and consistently. Missing birth control pills, especially if its more than 1 pill, greatly decreases their effectiveness.
Additionally, missing pills may cause you to have irregular spotting and bleeding. If you started a normal period the day after intercourse,
you most likely did not become pregnant.
Start a new pack of pills as scheduled, taking one every day, around the same time every day. It takes at least 7 days before the birth control pills are effective, so
either abstain from sex or use condoms until you have completed the first week.
