A member asked:
I was wondering what do i do if i miss 2 days of birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take 2 and then 2: If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. You may have some nausea or spotting. Its prudent to use condoms the rest of the month as missing 2 pills does decrease the pill's effectiveness some. Best wishes!
