Because you missed 4 pills you are not protected against pregnancy. You must use a back up method of protection - a condom for the next 2 weeks to prevent pregnancy. You must also continue to take Birth Control as normal.

As noted in the patient package insert, do the following. Forget about the current pack of pills. (Put it away in case you need a spare at some point.) Start a new pack of pills. Abstain from sex or use a back up birth control method for the first seven days of that cycle. Take a pregnancy test no sooner than the 10th pill of the new pack.

It depends on when you ovulate. Your body might not have ovulated yet but there is still a chance you could be pregnant. It takes seven days of regular pill taking after your period to make it affective. I am in the same boat I missed my seventh pill and I am losing my mind. Most women do not ovulate until eight days after their period so hopefully you and I are safe :)

Sometimes your period is so light on the birth control pill that you don't' see it at all. Some women like this side effect, and others don't. If you find it troublesome, contact your health care provider for a change. If you've made any mistake taking the pill, take a pregnancy test.

What if you took four birth control pills at one time?

That's a normal thing to do if you're using the birth control pill for emergency contraception. (Only certain birth control pills can be used in this way, and the doses differ depending on the pill.) If you're just trying to make up for missed pills, taking four at a time has no benefit, and is likely to cause nausea and vomiting.


What do you do if you missed four days of birth control pills?

use backup protection. Even if you take 4 days worth in 1 day, you can still get pregnant.


What if you take four birth control pills at a time?

Its not a good idea to take four birth control pills at a time to try and prevent pregnancy because if you already are pregnant, not even four pills can help you now and on top of that you wouldn't want to harm the baby if you already are pregnant. I know someone who had a physically deformed baby because she continued using her birth control pills while pregnant. She thought she would eventually end the pregnancy but she was so wrong. You should throw out your pack if you've missed four pills and start up a new one as soon as your period has come and gone.


If you take four birth control pills can you get rid of your baby?

Birth control pills prevent you from getting pregnant, not help you get rid of the fetus after it's already there.


Can you use birth control pills to move when you get your period?

yes you can just take the birth control, when you stop your period should start three to four days after.


What happens if I take four birth control pills at once?

Birth control pills are hormones and will not help you better if you take 4 at one time. You need to take a pill each day for them to work otherwise you are not protected.


Can taking 4 or 5 birth control pills in one day cause infertility?

Taking four or five birth control pills in a day does not affect future fertility. This is how emergency contraception was done before Plan B came on the market.


How bad does your stomach flu have to be for your birth control pills to be ineffective how long does it take for your body to absorb bc pills does ibs effect bc pills?

Irritable bowel syndrome should not effect how birth control pills work. However, if you are vomiting or have severe diarrhoea, then you should be very cautious about how effect birth control will be and because of this, I would recommend that you use a condom during intercourse for the next four weeks.


When will you start menstruating after missing birth control pills?

Some women bleed after missing pills, and others don't. After you stop the pill altogether, your period usually comes in four to six weeks.


Can you be pregnant if you are on birth control and you missed five pills and you have had unprotected sex and four days later you started cramping and had bleeding and it lasted for two days?

You wouldn't have 2 periods no, but you would have one period. As for the second period you might be pregnant. See your Doctor for a blood test.


What can taking four or more birth control pills do to you?

Speaking from experience DON'T DO IT!!! I will never forget to take my birth control again. When I took four of my beyaz pills to catch up, I had the worst stomach ache and I was up from 2:30-5:45 throwing up. It just wouldn't stop. I really do not recommened taking more than one at a time.
