I missed my birth control pill last night.?

Question

ive been taking them for about a week abd usually take them from around 7-10 but i forgot last night. is that bad? will anything change or happen?

Answer 1

it says in your instructions that when you miss a pill you should take the pill you missed with todays pill at the normal time. you arent as protected from becoming pregnant so wait a week from today and period wise, same stuff. good luck:)

Answer 2

Depending on which birth control your on, refer to your leaflet, i'm on microgynon and it tells you if you forget one to not take two the next day, if it's within 12 hrs still take it, if not then take your next days as normal and use other form of contraceptive for the next 7days. It won't effect your period and nothing should change, you should come onto your period at the same time.

Answer 3

No it will not do anything if you miss one night. I take birth control and i forget all the time. Just take the one you missed today like right now and take the one your supposed to take at your normal hour. So basically your taking two pills today but dont take them at the same time.

Answer 4

As the insert that came w/ you pills will describe, you can go ahead and take the missed pill as soon as you realize you missed it. So do that, if you haven't already.

Most BC companies say you are still protected if you miss ONE pill...but they also say that the pill is most effective if taken at the same time everyday, so I would recommend you go ahead and use condoms for a week or so, just to be safe. If you need more information, refer to that insert that came w/ the pills. Good luck.

Answer 5

Just take the missed pill today as well as today's pill. If you're taking BC for the purpose of not getting pregnant, then you're increasing your chances of a pregnancy, but if it's just for cramps, moodyness or acne, then you're fine.

Answer 6

Just take it as soon as you remember to and then take the other one when you take it every night.  Missing 1 won't hurt as long as you take it when you remember the next day.
