I'm on birth control pills and i started a new pack on sunday the 16th and only took sunday and monday's, i accidentally forgot to take the rest of the week what should i do,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be prepared: Forgetting to take the pills can trigger ovulation and make you quite fertile for that cycle. For now, use additional birth control for any exposure and contact your doc for guidance.
