Missing 2 days: If you missed 2 days, you want to take 2 missed pills, in addition to today's pill, for a total of 3 pills. If you started bleeding after missing 2 pills, that's normal, it can happen. Most important is that you use a back up form of birth control until you get your period because you could have ovulated=get pregnant. After take 3 pills, bleeding may stop, but may not. Continue on to end.
