What can i do if i missed the first week of microgestin birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait out: Missing the first week of microgestin is a situation, where a woman will want to wait out this cycle and start the pills at the beginning of her next menstrual periods. Otherwise there will be no protection from pregnancy and a high likelihood of irregular bleeding.
