Anytime you skip pills or take pills late, you are decreasing the effectiveness of your birth control method.
We recommend using a back up method, like abstinence or condoms for 1 week if you have missed more than
one pill. Not only can skipping/missing pills decrease the pregnancy protection, it will also decrease the cycle control. If you are late with one or more
pills, you may have signs that your body is reacting to the withdrawal of hormones. You may begin to have period symptoms: cramping, spotting, maybe even some period bleeding.
Continue to take your pills every day, and begin a new pack as scheduled. If your period is more than one week late, perform a pregnancy test.
