Must take regularly: Birth control is only effective if you take it everyday. If you miss one day, you can take two pills the next and more than likely be ok, however if you miss many days in a row it is not effective at all. Condom use is always recommended especially if you miss a pill. If it is challenging to remember to take pills regularly, there are many other options for birth control
