A member asked:

If you miss one pill of birth control how long you have to wait to have sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth control : First of all you should take your pill as soon as you rembered then go back to your routine and dont forget to take the pills regularly. There is never a safe answer. Wait a few days, take your plls and good luck
