A member asked:
I missed the first pill of my new pack of birth control pills but doubled up the next day. would that be enough for ovulation to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: The worst pills to miss are those that extend the hormone free interval, thus possibly allowing ovulation to occur. Emergency contraception would be an option.
