How does my birth control affect my period? i have been out traveling for a few days and i realized i forgot to pack my birth control. i missed the pills for about 2 days and then got home and took the days i missed like the package told me. that evening

Anytime : Anytime you miss a few pills, you can trigger your period to start earlier than usual. It may or may not end early depending on how much of a uterine lining you built up since your last period. Either way, continue taking your pills as you normally would. As an aside - if you miss more than one pill, you should always use a back up method of contraception such as a condom for the next 7 days after. Good luck!
