Girlfriend missed her pill yesterday and only took them tonight. she starts her placebo pills in 2days. will she get her period?

"Missed bcp" ?'s: One "missed (active) pill" at the end of a cycle of bcp active pills may cause brief spotting, but the risk of pregnancy is minimal, and the placebo phase of her bcp's will usually still occur.
