A member asked:
Is low dosage birthcontrol such as lutera less effective if missed 3 pills than higher dosage birthcontrol? had sex before and after missed pills.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCP: After you miss 3 pills of either cycle lower or higher dose pills, there is no longer effective contraception from the cycle. If you didnt use back up birth control, you are definitely at risk of getting pregnant.
