What do you do if you missed your first pill of your new packet?
Take two the next day. Do not take two. Just take one. Exceeding the limit per day is very harmful and the limit is one pill a day.
Would it be all right to take the pill if you missed two in a row and on your third day remember?
no it would not be alright if you forget just take one pill EX: your supposed to take one pill everyday but you forgot two days and you remembered the third day you souldn't take 3 pills the day you remembered just take one or what you normally take.
If you forget to take the pill on day 4 then accidentally take it late on day 6 can you get pregnant if you have unprotected sex on day 7?
Yes, not taking your pill daily can cause pregnancy. If you forget to take a pill, take two the next day, but any variation form one daily around the same time of day wil decrease the effeciveness.
What if you didn't take the pill at the right time but took it later on in the day?
If you took the pill but late its absolutely okay. If you missed a day then make sure you take two the next day but dont have sex if you didnt take the pill.
What do you do if you forget to take your birth control pill?
If forgotten to take one pill the next day at the same time you will Usually take your pill , you will take 2 pills instead of 1. If forgotten to take the pill 2-days in a row, then you would take two pills the day after and an additional two pills the day after that . If you forget to take the pill 3-days in a roll you must throw the pack away and start a new pack. These Directions are from current NP Sarah K Goldberg From NY presbyterian Office #:(646)-317-0206
If you forget to take a pill but take two the next day and the same day that you took two pills you have sex with a spermicidal condom could you be pregnant?
yup
How do you take the pill?
two pills daily for one week
If you missed one pill and took it the next morning and took your next pill five hours late does this count as two missed pills?
It is good that you read the intructions but if you miss one pill an dthen take it next day it will not be a problem it happend to me . if you read the instruction they will tell you that after 12 hrs passing the time to take the pill you have more risk. but take the forgotten pill and the other one a regular time if it do not pass the 12 hrs.
What if you forget to take your birth control pill?
If you forget to take your birth control pill, don't take two to make up for the one you forgot! Start fresh the next day. Try to take them at the same time everyday also. Your less likely to spot bleed or start spotting when you forget your pill.
If you accidentally took last Wednesday's pill and this Wednesday's pill last week and don't have a pill to take this Wednesday do you just skip Wednesday or do you take Thursday's pill one day early?
I would skip wednesdays pill but refrain from having sex. If you do have sex, use a condom as you wont be protected against pregnancy. I cant understand wy you have missed your Wednesday pill twice now. If its because your taking two pills when you forget, then you dont need to because you would still have a Wednesday pill left. If you forget a pill for 16hours then take it as soon as you remember. Dont take two at once. If your due the next pill within 3/4hours then take it if its the right days pill and your on that day (eg wednesday,thursday etc)
If you are taking one pill a day and it is not working can you start taking two?
It's unclear by what "not working" means, but birth control pills are meant to be taken one a day, and the only person who could definitively tell you to take two pills a day is your doctor.
What does alternate daily mean on a prescribtion for tablets?
It sounds like the prescription is for two different tablets - that are to be taken 'in tandem'. One to be taken one day, and the other - the next day. For example - you have two medications. One is a blue pill & one is yellow. The instruction 'alternate daily' means you take a Blue pill on days 1, 3, 5, 7 etc - and a Yellow pill on days 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.
