Birth Control pills can fail when taking them perfectly. Normally, if you miss one pill during the course of the month, the risk of pregnancy isn't very high, unless it's one of the first pills of the pack. If you miss a pill, take the missed pill as soon as you remember, and the next at regular time, even if that means taking two pills at the same time. If you miss more than one, you may be at risk of pregnancy. Use a backup birth control method (like using condoms or abstaining from vaginal sex) until you've taken pills correctly for seven days.

If you are frequently missing pills, it might not be the right method for you. The most highly effective methods are the contraceptive implant and the IUD. Talk with your health care provider about options that don't require you to pick up a pack of pills each month, and to take a pill each day.

If you even miss one pill and are sexually active, you can get pregnant, not to mention missing several pills. The best bet would be to use some other form of birth control after missing a pill. Although I've known friends who have missed a couple in a month and not gotten pregnant, I think that is just really lucky though and would strongly advise against relying in that. Good luck!

That is playing Russian Roulette because it depends on each women's body. If you miss several pills, call your doctor for directions about what to do. ALSO just because pills look inconsequential, they won't work if they are started, missed, and restarted constantly.
