A member asked:
Will i still have irregular periods if i only miss a few of my birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You will have withdrawal bleeding and should use additional protection. This can happen even if you miss a single pill. In this case if you double up immediately you should be safe.
