A member asked:
Wondering why wait 7 days after missing birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No reason to wait.: If you miss taking your contraceptive pills one day, you should take 2 ASAP and continue taking your daily pills; If you miss 2 days, take 3 pills ASAP and use condoms or abstain. Consider asking a Gyn for an intrauterine device or a subdermal implant which are the most effective "forgettable" methods of contraception.
