A member asked:
There has been 2 instances during my birth control pack where i have taken double doses by accident. this leaves me 2 pills short at the end of my pack. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finish the current pack and allow the usual seven days of "placebo" pills, then start a new pack. The only result of taking two active pills instead of the usual one, is occasional breakthrough bleeding caused by the lower hormone content of taking one instead of two.
