Birth Control Pill help Please!!! Ok, so about two weeks ago when i started my white pills....?


which are the first pills of the pack i was missing one, i thought i had taken it and just not remembered because it was not in the pack. I just took my usual pill the next day and thought nothing of it. THen last night i went to take an ambien that was in my pocket book and realized AFTER i took it that it was my missing birth control pill. I am now in my third week of the pills. I am freaking out trying to understand what i have done. I have had sex since missing the one pill. Please advise im so stressed out about this. Thank you.

No need for the rude comment. It was with my long term boyfriend.

Well, I hate to say that even when taken completely correctly, the pill is not 100% effective. I got pregnant on the pill, and know 3 other people personally who did as well. The pill is about 98-99% effective even when everything is done perfectly. You apparently missed a day altogether, and it is too late to double up, or take a morning after pill now, so you have increaed those odds by alot. This is not to say that you will definitely get pregnant, but there is always a chance. I would just wait and make sure that your period comes when it is supposed to. If not, take a test and call your doctor. Good luck!

Refer to the literature that comes with your packet, but I believe skipping one pill is "fine" and you don't need backup birth control. However, if you miss more than one, you do need to use condoms for a week. It sounds as though you only missed one, so you should be fine, but since the pill is not 100% effective even when used correctly, keep an eye on your cycle and take a test if necessary.

If you only missed one but took the rest on schedule than I wouldn't worry about it. I've missed two or three one week and I never had a problem. Of course everyone is different but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Missing one pill is not that big of a deal as long as you get it in as soon as possible. Relax, seriously just be more careful ok?
