A member asked:
If you forget to take a birth-control pill and the next day take two doses, can the ovulation still occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: It is always a good idea to double up a dose if you miss a pill. Most likely the pill will still be effective that month unless you miss more than two doses in a row. It is never a bad idea to use back-up contraception for the rest of the month as an extra precaution.
