Could you tell me what happens if you take birth control incorrectly?

Irregular bleeding: I'm assuming you are wondering what happens if you take birth control pills incorrectly. It is more likely a woman will experience irregular bleeding, and it is more possible she will ovulate and get pregnant. Check with your doctor if you are not sure how to take your birth control pills correctly.

Poor results: Noncompliance with birth control pills will usually manifest as irregular bleeding and an increase in contraceptive failures. The pill is very effective for birth control and for cycle control when taken correctly.
