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.

Which pills are the worst to miss in a birth control pack?
The color varies from one brand to another, but the pills in the first week are the worst ones to miss.Its bad to miss one birth control pill in any week.
Is it an actual period if you miss birth control pills?
No bleeding that you have on birth control pills is an "actual period." Instead, it's withdrawal bleeding brought on by the drop in hormones when you miss pills or when you have your normally scheduled placebo week.
You stopped your birth control pills a week after having sexcan you become pregnant a week after stopping your pills but had sex aweek before?
Yes you can become pregnant a week after you have stopped taking birth control pills.
What should you do if you miss a week of birth control and are now bleeding like you have a period?
Nothing, this is a perfectly normal withdrawal bleed from missing your pills.
What happens if you miss a week of taking birth control?
You can get pregnant
When on birth control does it still work during the week of sugar pills?
Absolutely.
What happens if you delay your period for a week while on birth control and then do not get your period straight away when you start taking the sugar pills?
Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.
Does starting the last week of birth control pills start your period?
To my knowledge the last week of birth control pills are placebos. That means they are simply sugar pills that help keep you in a routine. I think the lack of regular birth control pills during that last week cause you to start your period because you stop the hormones associated with those pills. Of course, I haven't taken them for over 10 years and the new types may be different.
Are you suppose to take the sugar pills in Yaz birth control?
yes you are they are for the week you are on your period.
You were taking birth control pills but you missed 3 days and then you began spotting you did that for a week then you stopped taking the pills for 2 days to make your period come on can you get pregn?
Its possible but pretty unlikely. If you miss any pills then follow the instructions (which are normally to continue as if you hadn't missed any pills).
Will it hurt to just not take the last week of my birth control pills?
If your birth control pills give you a "sugar pill" for the last week of your cycle, it is OK to skip them, assuming you start back up after the right amount of days, usually after your period has come. However, not all birth control pills have sugar pills for those days. Some just have a lower dose pill, and skipping them could reduce the effectiveness.
What if you are on your second pack and missed six pills in a row in week two?
If you missed that many pills your birth control most likely won't be effective until the end of the second pack. If you miss more than two, you have to restart the pill cycle.
