What should you do if you start a new pack of birth control late?

If you had unprotected sex and you missed 3 or more pills from a new pack you may want to consider using the Plan B pill. If you have not had sex since missing pills from your new pack - start the new pack as soon as you realize you have missed any and use back up protection (condoms or Today Sponge etc) until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days.

I am on Yaz birth control how late can you start another pack?
You should start the next pack no later than seven days after your last active pill in the previous pack.
Should you start your next pill pack on the usual day when your period is late by a day?
Yes, you should take your birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding.
If your a few hours late taking your birth control and start bleeding what stops the bleeding?
Nothing. It's nature.
When should you start the birth control pill if your period ends before Sunday?
You can start the birth control pill at any time in your cycle. If you are set on starting on a Sunday, then you'll need to use a back up method of birth control for a week, unless it's been five days or fewer since you started your period. Traditionally, women in the US started the birth control pill on Sunday. This has an obvious disadvantage - your health care provider's office is closed on Sunday, and many women start their pill late when they notice too late that they're out of pills. Do yourself a favor and consider starting on a weekday, as they do in most other countries.
What happens if you start your first birth control pill at night and take the next one the next morning?
Taking the next birth control pill early does not impact effectiveness. Taking it late may.
Is it possible for your period to be late while taking birth control?
Yes, it is possible for your period to be late or stop completely from any hormonal birth control.
Can starting your birth control before your period make your period late?
Yes, it can make your period late. You should expect it according to the type of birth control you're using. If you're not sure when, call the prescriber to ask for information specific to your situation.
Should you take a pregnancy test after in and out?
If your period is 5 days late, then yes. In-and-out is not a reliable birth control method.
Can you take one birth control pill to stimulate your period?
The birth control pill will not stimulate or jump start your period. Talk to your health care provider if your period is more than three months late.
What happens if you start a new birth control pack a week late?
You will not be protected against pregnancy and your period may arrive late. You need to use a condom for 2 weeks.
If i took two birth control pills two days in a row because i started late do i need to start a new pack or will it be effective?
Use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days of this pack.
How will you know when Depo-Provera wears off?
You should assume that you no longer have protection from Depo Provera when you are late for the next shot. If you don't want to get pregnant, start using another birth control method at that time.
