the average gap is 28 days.  if you go much longer or much shorter than that, you should have yourself checked out

You should be okay if you've been taking it consistantly. You took it as soon as you remembered. If you don't get your period this month, take a pregnancy test anyways. Birth control does NOT harm early pregnancy or cause abortions so, if you do find yourself pregnant and do decide to continue the pregnancy you do not have to worry about taking the pills without knowing you were pregnant. Also, if you find yourself continuing to forget your pill, perhaps because of your busy schedule. You should see your doctor about other forms of hormonal birth contorl such as the Ortho-evra patch, the Nuva Ring or the Depo-provera shot. Good luck!

you take the missed one in the morning and the scheduled one in the evening of the next day, so you are caught up. if you dont take it, you have more of a chance of pregnancy and break-thru bleeding.

If you only have 4 active pills left then there really is nothing to worry about - back-up method is advisable only when you have missed the pill on the first week. But if you want to be sure contact your gynecologist

If you've been off the pill for more than a week, then you should wait till you get your period next.  Once you get your period, you can do the Sunday start or start immediately.  In the meantime, use a backup method of birth control.

It could very well just be that you missed taking your pill and it messed with the hormones telling your body to start. You could very well be pregnant who knows until you see your doc. Good luck

I would take them again but you need to be careful and use other methods of protection until you've had a week back on the pill. Another tip, what about a coil, mirena coil, it releases progesterone so you won't forget to take your pill again. Bit undignified at first but I wouldn't look back.

If you took them for 9 days that seems odd to break out so late? Are you sure it isn't something else? Anyhow you should be through the process by now. i would however tell both to have it on record that you should be give something different. If you truly are allergic you don't want to get them again. Right? So, that is something they both need to know.

I hope you have not done it this time after the october menstruation,,if not then there is no course for alarm ,but if you did it and without condom then continue to count the days.\nMoreover the dates are not fix,its differ from every individual,sometime it can delay up a week or more.Dont worry if you have not done it.

Here's what Planned Parenthood says: "Taking the progestin-only pill at the same time each day is essential — if you take it more than three hours past the regular time, you need to use a back up method of birth control for 48 hours after taking the late pill."\n\nSo a few hours (less than three) difference isn't going to change things.  You're covered.     As long as you're close you'll be okay.  What you don't want to do is skip all over the clock - breakfast one day, dinner time the next day, then lunch time, then bedtime.\n\nWith the mini-dose pills that are common today, the hormone can be gone from your system too long if you miss your regular time by more than a few hours.\n\nDon't worry about not getting your period exactly on Sunday.  Different women's bodies will respond differently.  You'll start to see the pattern for your body after three months or so.

once you get on the pill you can't miss any other than the one to get your normal period. If you miss you will get your period until its done. if it last more than a week i would talk to your doctor

It takes time to adjust to a new type of hormonal birth control.  Give it a few months before you start to panic.  Your period probably will not last 12 days, it just came early because you're changing hormone volumes.\n\nStick to the switch and become better about remembering to take your pill at the same time every day.  Your period should even out in a few months.

u can take the pill upto 72 hours but sooner you take its better. There are a few side effects but nothing serious

NO SEX for 7 days.  NONE - not even protected.\n\nAlcohol can affect some meds, so be sure to ask about that.\n\nOther than that, you are ok.  Just take it exactly as prescribed, and finish it!

It shouldn't matter if you have a prescription for the pill you used.\n\nCoach
