A member asked:

Missed loestrin doubled up next day spotted that day i doubled up and now period is late?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get pregnancy test: Missing one pill usually does not result in pregnancy. It is fairly common to skip periods on birth control pills. If pregnancy test is negative start your new pack at the usual time.
