A member asked:
Missed a few days of my bc pills and now i'm spotting, help what do i do?

Take make up doses: Take two pills per day for the days you missed. If you missed more than two days, then also use another contraception method such as condoms until you are in the next pill package.

FEW....: Resume asap. Do not try to make up, and use other method of contraception until you have a cycle.
