What effects does it have if you miss three active bc pills and don't start a new pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not covered : If you were to have unprotected sex, you could get pregnant. So use a back up method until you get your next period. As far as your cycle is concerned, you may start a period, or you may not, depending on where you're at in the pill pack. You haven't harmed yourself, just inconvenient if you start bleeding.
