What if you miss a week of birth control pills?

Answer 1

If you miss a week of Birth Control pills, put away the current pack of pills. (You may need them for extras someday.) Use emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last 120 hours. Start a new pack of pills as soon as possible. Use a back up birth control method for the first seven days of the new pack. Take a pregnancy test no sooner than the seventh pill in the new pack.

You may not have a period this month. If you miss 2 periods in a row, call your health care provider. Also, maybe if you are forgetting to take the pill, another contraceptive would be better for you. ask your doctor about the nuva-ring; depo shot; or anything else you can think of that will make this easier for you.
