A member asked:
Been on a combo pill for 7 months now & just wondering how ineffective does it become if you were to miss 3 pills (not consecutively but over 2 weeks)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ineffective: Any time you do not take the pill as directed you want to consider it ineffective; even more so if you missed the pill several times
