A member asked:
I started taking birth control this january i missed 3 pills so i waited to my cycle came and it came on my bithday in march can i restart my pills

Yes.: Restartt with a new pack of pills, on the first sunday after your period starts. If you start during your period, you don't need to use condoms the first month. Try to keep your pills in a handy place so you will remember take them, like next to your alarm clock or toothbrush. Or try the nuvaring.
