What should a woman do if she forgets her birth control pills?
If you forget to take a pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the next day, take two pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for two days, take two pills the day you remember and two pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you miss more than two pills, call your doctor for instructions. Those instructions may be to take one pill daily until Sunday and then start a new pack or to discard the rest of the pill pack and start again with a new pack on the same day. Any time you forget to take a pill, you must use another form of birth control until you finish the pill pack. When you forget to take a birth control pill, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary. However, if you forget to take any of the last seven out of the 28-day pills you will not raise your chance of pregnancy, since these pills contain only inactive ingredients. If you miss your period and have forgotten to take one or more pills, get a pregnancy
