A member asked:

My nails turned to lindsay's nails and i only noticed it after missing my birth control and taking two in the same day. could it be from that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you really think you have half and half nails, see a Dr because this is associated with severe kidney failure. But is not related to OC pills in any way.
