What do I do about a missed birth control pill?


I forgot to take my birth control last night. I just remebered but I am at work. I am going to take it when i get home. What should I do?

take it when you can get to it and take today's on time. You should use an alternate form of birth control for the rest of this month as well. You just increased your chances of fertility!
Take it when you get home and use condoms for about a week
obstain.
take yesterday's and today's. try not to forget again.
I was on birth control for two and a half years. I know that if you take the missed one within 24 hrs and then the scheduled one, you will be all right. Missing two in a row, however, is entirely different. I'd ask my doctor on that one or read the instructions on the enclosed material.. Times have changed.
It tells you on the instructions to double up the next day as soon as you remember. If this happens again, you are taking more risk and you should definately use some other method of birth control.
