A member asked:

I missed 3 pills of my birth control in week 1 and again in week 2. i am having early pregnancy symptoms but no + test. should i stop my bc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes/see your doctor: There is an increase risk of pregnancy with these many missed pills.See your doctor for evaluation/other bc form.The rule is if you are a sunday starter and missed 3 pills as indicated you had to continue a tab daily till sunday, then discard the pack and start a new pack same day. If a day-1 starter, discard pack/start a new pack same day.In both cases use backup like condoms/foam require.Take care.
