I was supposed to start a new pack of HBC Sunday, but forgot the pack at work. Yesterday was Labour Day, so I missed that pill as well. And today I can't get into work because of school. So I'm 3 days behind. I checked the pamphlet for my brand (Yasmin) but I'm REALLY confused about what it means...
I'm pretty sure it just says that I should take the pills normally until Sunday then start a new pack... but I figure checking is a good idea.
I'm not having sex or anything... so I'm not so much worried about getting pregnant, but I figure my body will be happier if I stay on them. Help? (Thanks in advance too)
If you MISS 3 OR MORE yellow “active” pills in a row (during the first 3 weeks).
If you are a Sunday Starter:
Keep taking 1 pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, THROW OUT the rest of the pack and start a new pack of pills that same day.
2. You may not have your period this month but this is expected. However, if you miss your period two months in a row, call your doctor or healthcare provider because you might be pregnant.
3. You MAY BECOME PREGNANT if you have sex in the 7 days after you miss pills. You MUST use another birth control method (such as condoms or spermicides) as a back-up for those 7 days.
