What to do if i mistook my birth control pill? i dropped the one i needed to take and took the following days pill. should i skip a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Either take 2 pills the next day to make up for the one you missed, but since your really didn't miss a pill, just continue to take one a day. You will finish your cycle one day early. Then wait one day and start a new package.
