What happens if you take a birth control pill a day early by accident in the middle of your cycle?
If you're in the middle of your cycle and you took a pill early, then maybe you doubled up one day and will run out of pills a day earlier. In that case, make sure you start your next pack a day earlier as well, so you don't go more then seven days without an active pill.
On the other hand, if you're in the middle of your cycle, and your pill colors change each week, and you took a different color than you were supposed to one day, there is no cause for concern. Again, just make sure you didn't go more than seven days for the pill free interval.
If you're having a hard time deciding which case applies to you, contact your prescriber or pharmacist for advice specific to your situation.
