Be careful: Forgetting to take birth control is very common. My recommendation is to start taking it again today where you should be in the pack. If you are sexually active use back up forms of contraception (condoms). Try setting an alarm on your phone to remind yourself, or leave it near your toothbrush so you remember to take it. If you continue to forget, ask your OB about Long Acting Reversibles.

Other Birth Control: Be sure to use a condom, diaphragm or other birth control as your pills are not protecting you now.
