You should never double or triple or quadruple the daily dose of Birth Control pills. Here are reasons why it is not advisable unless your doctor instructs you to 'double up' for a day:
Birth control pills contain hormones. Hormones must maintain a "steady state" in your body to work effectively. Steady state means no rapid ups or downs of med dosage. Taking more birth control pills on one day will NOT give you any additional protection against pregnancy. Taking more on ONE day means you skip on other days---so again, you lose your protection. BC Pills are NOT aspirins or a pill to take "when needed" (and even aspirins won't work right unless you take meds right). Just like all other drugs, you can have bad side effects to high doses of hormones, except hormones can cause things like extra hair growth, completely screwed up menstrual cycles, etc. Hormones act on other hormones. Hormones "like friends" so 2 hormones "work together" cooperatively in the body. But, hormones also react against each other, not exactly "enemies", but when 1 hormone is high, the other hormone drops. You must always remember any hormone affects other hormones and hormonal glands in your body. If you mess with the BC dose over and over, your body won't 'know' whether 'now' is okay to release an egg or not... So your body could sneak in a surprise pregnancy simply because you did not follow the exact instructions. Doctors might tell you to 'double up' on one day, but usually this is to treat another problem, like break-thru bleeding. But I repeat, never double or triple the dose unless your doctor instructed you to do that. When you run out too soon in the month because you used too many, too quickly, be prepared for a lecture from your doctor.
In low dose BCPs the packet states to take up to three at one time if you missed the first two days of the cycle, as soon as you remember, chances of break through bleeding and spotting is high when this happens. Using a condom for the next week is highly recommended.
If you are planning on making your own MAP, your Pharmacist or OB doc can tell you how many of the pills you have, you will need for the correct dose. Trying to come up with the right dose on your own is playing a dangerous game, I would not ever recommend.
She will get very sick and get her stomach pumped.
You will delay the onset of your period by one day for each day you take an extra birth contol pill. However, if you take all of them at one time then nothing will happen.
You may experience a earlier than usual period for you.
Then you've over-dosed your system.
Nothing.
Skipping your period by taking extra birth control pills or fewer placebo (sugar) pills lowers, not raises, your risk of pregnancy.
Delay your period by 2 days.
Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.

No, birth control pills are not narcotics.

Anawer. Yes, some birth control pills are known to have that sideffect and another commen sideffect is missing periods.. It must have something to do with the hormones in the pills. (technicaly birth control pills are steroids cause of the hormoes and they are known to have some of the same sideffects) But when it happens -if it happens, you cant be sure, but dont worry you will not suddenly get round like a ball.
no, because birth control (in any method: pills, ring, patch, shot, implant) is meant to CONTROL birth BEFORE it happens. they are useless after you're already pregnant.
According to the Mayo clinic nothing happens. If you are aiming for an abortion you have to see a doctor. Birth control pills can not make you abort. They can be used as morning after pills within 5 days after sex but not once you are pregnant.
many birth control pills have generic equivalents.
It is legal to mail birth control pills.
