If you miss approx. 3 active pills then you will start your period, but as long as you catch up (on your pills) your period should come as scheduled.If you just miss your last active pill then the next pill is your sugar pill, you should just take them both as soon as you remember. If you've already taken them (2 pills at once) your period should be on schedule still. Call your doctor, pharmacy, or hospital to be sure. I'm pretty sure it won't mess up your period, and I'm almost positive that this accident won't increase your chances of pregnancy (as long as you took both pills as soon as you remembered and it was only 2 pills).

You haven't had your period yet and you only have the last sugar pill left if you skip it will you still get your period?
Since there is no active medication in the sugar pill, eating it or not eating it has no effect on your period.
What would cause you to start your period early after missing one sugar pill?
Missing a sugar pill would make no difference at all so there must be another reason. Hello. Because you missed one sugar pill this caused you to start your period a day early. sugar pills have no active ingredients. they are just simply what they say they are. i go with the first answer. there isn't any difference to whether you take them or not. they are just there to keep you from forgetting the active pills. i never take the sugar pills. not sure y it would start early though.
Will your period be late if you do not take the green pills?
In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills. If you skip active pills, your period will be early and you increase the risk of pregnancy. If you skip placebo pills, your period will be delayed.

If you missed last active pill and then started new active pill after sugar pills a day late and had sex the night you had the first active pill can you fall pregnant?
Since birth control pills arent 100% effective, no matter what there is always a chance of pregnancy.

this is bad, you should definitely ask your local pharmacist or family doctor. you are supposed to get your period when you stop taking the pills for 7 days or take your sugar pills.
Do you start your period immediately when the sugar pills start?
Hi, As this is your first month on birth control, there's no real way of telling if you will get your period when your on the sugar pills. You may do but if you don't then it will arrive next month.
