A member asked:
Can i skip 3rd week of bc and go to placebo? then go back to the 3rd week so i have 4 weeks of bc in next pack. i have missed 2 days of pills so far.

No.: Not a good idea. Take next two pills today and continue your 3rd week is best. Use condoms for the next 7 days or abstain from sexual activity.
