The "next day" or "morning after" pill is a medication that can be taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. If you had sex without protection or the condom broke, you can take the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy from occurring. At this time, some states require that you have a prescription from your doctor or gynecologist, and some states will allow pills to be purchased directly from the pharmacy counter.
The morning after pill should be used as a last resort only. Measures should be taken ahead of time to prevent pregnancy whenever possible. Not only are morning after pills expensive, but they make you very sick when you take them.

Do you have to take 2 doses if you miss a pill?
Yea, if you miss a pill one day you have to take it as soon as you remember the next day.
If you miss the first pill of a new pack then take 2 the next day are you safe for sex that day?
No. If you miss a pill, take other protection (ie a condom) for the next seven days.
What happens if you loose a birth control pill take the next pill and start the next pack a day earlier?
I've done it before, and it's okay. :-)
What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
What if you didn't take the pill at the right time but took it later on in the day?
If you took the pill but late its absolutely okay. If you missed a day then make sure you take two the next day but dont have sex if you didnt take the pill.
Should you start your next pill pack on the usual day when your period is late by a day?
Yes, you should take your birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding.
Can you get pregnant if you miss a pill and double up the next day?
yes, but it is not very likely
What if you have been off the pill for three weeks and want to start again?
To start the pill again you take it on the first day of your next period.
How many pills should you take the next day if you don't remember taking your pill the day before?
If you have missed your pill the day before, you should only take the missed pill as soon as you remember, and today's pill at the usual time, as directed in the FDA insert that came with your birth control pills.
If i miss a pill and get back on track does the pill stop working?
If you miss a pill take 2 the next day. One pill doesn't matter that much in a long run. It is when you miss several days that you have a problem. Start taking your pill the same time every day and you are less likely to forget.
What do you do if you missed your first pill of your new packet?
Take two the next day. Do not take two. Just take one. Exceeding the limit per day is very harmful and the limit is one pill a day.
Is it possible to miss one pill and have your period return the next day?
Yes, depending on the sensitivity of the pill, (the amount of hormones in each pill) and other contributing factors like where you are in your cycle, it is possible.
