A member asked:
I double dozed on my bc pill 6 times this month. (took 2 in a day 6 times from a spare pack). didn't miss any pills, am i at a risk of pregnancy?

No increased risk: Since you never missed any pills, just took extra pills, your pregnancy protection is unaffected. The birth control pill is never 100% effective however. The extra pills did not improve your protection and it is unclear why you felt this was necessary or helpful.
