Can missing 3 birth control pills affect period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: After missing 3 pills, most women with have breakthrough bleeding/an early period. Also, don't count on the pill for birth control. You should start over with a new pack, and using backup method (such as condoms) for a week.
