Missed Birth Control Pill
If you miss or are late taking one pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss two pills, take two pills per day until you are back on schedule. Also, if you miss two pills or more pills, use an additional form of birth control for the rest of the pill pack. If you have breakthrough bleeding, DO NOT stop your pills. See the package insert for more detailed instructions and contact your gyn provider.
