If you miss the first Birth Control pill in the pack, you are at increased risk for pregnancy. Use a backup method until you've successfully taken seven pills in a row. Consider changing to a different method that will give you better protection.

What should you do if you miss the first 10 pills of a new pack?

If you miss the first 10 pills of a new pack, I would recommend either (a) abstaining from sexual intercourse or (b) using a different method of birth control, ideally condoms, until your next period. On the Sunday following the beginning of your next period, you should start an entirely new pack of pills. Of course, you should try hard to be more consistent with the next pack.

If you have not started the birth control Yasimin on the first day of your period is it possible to start it two weeks later?

You can start the pack whenever you like. However, unless you take the first pill on the first day of your period, the entire first pack is ineffective as birth control, and you must use a back-up for the entire first pack. If you take your pills properly, once you start taking the active pills of your second pack, it's considered effective. This is true for the first time you're taking birth control pills, as well as if you start a new brand.

Providing you took the first pack correctly you are protected immediately.


What if you miss a week of birth control pills?

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.

You took your first birth control pill at 9 pm and the same night at 11 did the pull out method could you be pregnant?

If this is your first ever pack you shouldn't be having unprotected sex until you finished a full pack. The birth control is only effective after a month ( a whole pack ) and you should never rely on "the pull out method".
