A member asked:
When should i take my birth control pill again after the first pack ended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The next day: Once you finish the first pack of birth control pills, then the next day - the day after finishing the first pack - start the second pack. Birth control pills are meant to be taken every single day. Taking a pill every day helps a woman to remember to take them.
