A member asked:
If i double the dose of birth controlon two days in a row will it decrease my chances of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do that? : One should not double up on birth control unless you are making up for missing pills or skipping days. The act of missing pills does increase the risk of pregnancy. Consider easier methods that do not rely on daily use such as Essure or and IUD
