A member asked:
I missed 3 birth control pills, but didn't throw out the pack and kept going normally. was that a good idea?

Depends on the pill: Not a good idea to start the pill again after missing three. Check with your healthcare provider. The answer really depends on which pill you are on and where in the pack you missed the pills. The pill will not work if you miss three pills in a row.
