A member asked:
If i missed one day on bc and doubled up the next day. should i use back up protection? or am i okay?

Should be fine.: as long as you are otherwise consistently taking your birth control and haven't missed other days, missing one day and doubling up the next should be adequate for birth control. If you find that you are missing lots of days, try longer-acting methods like rings, shots, implants, IUDs.
