Me and my aunt has the same birth control. can i take hers since she doesnt take it?

Oral bcp's: If your aunt's brand and strength is identical to yours, and they are not "expired", you can take the unopened package to extend your use of oral contraception. Otherwise, call your gyn provider for a renewal of your prescription.
