A member asked:
If i take my 1stpill on 3rd pack on the second or 3rd day of period, will it affect its efficacy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Problem: In general the birth control pill should be taken regularly, and as directed. The pack of medicine is the guide you use to take the pills daily. By missing one or two doses you put yourself (& your partner) at risk for an unplanned pregnancy. The mis-timing will also be realized by your body as irregular bleeding. Good luck in the next days with your health...
