A member asked:
If you throw up one dose of birth control, and can't replace that dose, how long do you have to wait until it is 99.7% effective again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The impact of a missed pill depends on which week of the pill pack has the missed pill. General rule of thumb, use a second form of contraception for two weeks.
