Since this is added to Birth Control pill category I assume you mean those. It means you are at risk for pregnancy. Missing one pill is all it takes and also if you don't take it on time. Maybe the shot would be a better option for you. You can read all about different types of birth control on the Planned Parenthood website.
I am not sure if you have started a new pack 3 days late, or you have taken Sunday's pill on the Wednesday before because you popped the wrong one. If you have just taken Sunday's pill on Wednesday because you popped the wrong one there should not be a problem unless you are on the sort where you have different ones through the month. Even then there should not be too much problem. If you have started your pack 3 days late you need to use an additional form of contraception (condom) for a week or however long it suggests on the instructions in your pack.
You should take them everyday, when you start taking them wrong, they become less effective. Also, my friend took 3 in a day because she was going away for the weekend and didn't want to think of them, and she had to get her stomach pumped, it was to much for her stomach and she started vomitting and ran a fever.
Continue taking one pill per day on schedule. YOu can steal a pill from the end of the pack to make up for the extra one you took too early. Start the next pack a day earlier so you don't go more than seven days without an active pill.
If you took the wednesday pill on tuesday, then just take the tuesday pill on Wednesday. There is no harm and no decrease in effectiveness as long as the wednesday pill wasn't a placebo pill and the tuesday pill an active pill (e.g. in Loestrin 24)
I recommend to just keep taking them each day
If it's a dual colored pack, then each pill of the same color is the same. The orange pills are different from the white ones, though.
yes!
Let me give you an example instead... For example, I have to eat medicine every two days starting for Monday: Monday: Eat pill Tuesday: no pill Wednesday: eat pill Thursday: no pill Friday: eat pill Saturday: no pill Sunday: eat pill
You would not be safe against pregnancy until seven days after you missed the pill on Sunday. Use a condom until next Sunday if you are going to have sex. Dear Reader; Most manufactures state that missing one pill will not significantly change effectiveness. Unless your digestive tract was totaly shut down, the pill you did take was absorbed long befor you threw up. Dwight
If the pill you took was a sugar pill/placebo pill, the result is like missing a pill. If you just took the wrong active pill, there is no risk. Continue taking the pills as scheduled, and next Saturday just take this Saturday's pill. If you're not sure if these were active or placebo pills, contact your health care provider or pharmacist for advice specific to your medication.
If the pill you took from next week is from one of the first three Saturdays of the pack, there's no problem. Tomorrow take the correct pill for Sunday, and then when you get to next Saturday, take the pill you didn't take yesterday. These pills from the first three weeks of the pack are all the same, and are only dated to help you remember whether or not you took the pill.However, If the pill you took early was from the very last week in the pack, then you should take the Sunday pill for tomorrow as soon as possible, then take one pill per day until the end of the pack. You'll finish the pack a day early, and must start the next pack a day early. If you're not sure how to manage that, your pharmacist or health care provider would be happy to help.
Yes, that's fine.
If your period starts on sunday, you can start the pill that day.
If you skip even one pill you can become pregnant. Even if you took two in the same day after you remembered there is still a chance. Always use condoms!
After your recent period stops or on a Sunday (In every pack of pills, it starts on a Sunday).Speak with your doctor on what type of pill is best for you.
Yes. When you stop the hormone after week 3, your body will have a period again.

If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
