Can you tell me what you suggest if take birth control late and had sex in between?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How late?: Inside the package insert on your birth control pills are instructions on what to do if you have missed a pill. If you are only a few hours late then nothing is required. If you miss one pill you take an extra one the next day. Check the package insert and then see which category you fall into and follow the guidelines.
