Take two pills as soon as you remember, and two pills the next day. Use a back up method of Birth Control for the next seven days. Keep taking the pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. If forgetting is a common problem for you, talk with your health care provider about options that don't require you to remember something each day.
Missed nearly 40% of the pills.......maybe a condom should be used. Either that or congratulations are in order on your future pregnancy
Its possible but pretty unlikely. If you miss any pills then follow the instructions (which are normally to continue as if you hadn't missed any pills).
When do you start a new pack of birth control pills if you stopped in the middle of the previous pack and missed 3 pills then started period?
Yes.
I'm having the same happen to me...I'm on Ortho Lo and missed quiet a few pills the week lafter I had my last period and since 2 weeks after, ive been having the brown discharge. I think from what ive read, its just an inbalance in hormones.
You should use a backup method (condoms only) for the next 2 weeks.
You indeed can become pregnant if you missed 3 pills and are bleeding. The reason you would be bleeding or maybe spotting is because you're not taking the pills. If you've missed 3 pills in one pack, you should throw that pack away and start a new pack and definitely use backup protection!
Skipping pills can cause the progestin levels to drop low enough to cause a period. If missing pills is a common occurence for you, the pill is not going to have the birth control effectiveness that you are seeking, and you should consider other methods.
in the past 2 months i have missed several pills and been very stupid about taking my pills, and now i have missed 2 peroids in a row. i have a 14 month old baby so i know how being pregnant feels but i dont feel anything. i have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they were all negative, but ive known people who had negative results but were in fact pregnant! i am so confused. i have also miscarried 2 times and had a premature baby at 21 weeks whom passed away. i dont know whats going on? we have been "careful", but u can never be careful enough. could i just not have a period due to the pills being messed up???

Yes!
There are pills to abort pregnancy after you have missed the period for 2 to 3 weeks. Any way consult your Gaenacologist for expert advice.
