⟩ What should I do if I miss a birth control pill?

If you miss one pill, you should take it as soon as you remember and take the next one as usual.

If 2 pills are missed during the first 2 weeks of your cycle, then you should take 2 pills a day for the next 2 days and use a back-up method such as a condom for the next 7 days.

If 2 pills or more are missed in the 3rd week of the cycle then you should take 2 pills a day for the next 2 days and then complete the pack of pills. You should then begin your new pack on a Sunday. A back-up form of birth control should be used for the next 7 days such as a condom.
