What if I forget to take my birth control pill?
If you miss one pill, take two the next day. You are still protected from becoming pregnant and do not need to use a backup form of birth control (condoms). If you miss two pills, take two pills on the next two days and you MUST use a backup form of birth control for the remainder of the month. If you miss pills you will often have some irregular bleeding. If your period is late make sure to take a pregnancy test.
