The Birth Control pill doesn't come in a bottle like other medications. Instead, it comes in a pack of pills, usually 28 but sometimes 21 or 84.
What else can I help you with?
What if you started a pill pack three days late?
Then do not have unprotected sex until you start your next pill pack...ON TIME.
What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
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.
Can one take rest of active pills in pack and not placebos because of bleeding due to one missed pill that was taken when realized because 2 and a half weeks of bleeding is miserable?
Yes, absolutely! If you missed a pill, there's no need to throw away the pack. Just as you did, you take the missed pill as soon as remembered, then continue with the pack. You can skip the placebos at the end of the pack as well and go right to the first active pill in the next pack.
Can you switch from Yaz to microgynon?
Yes, you can switch. Just start the new pack of the new pill no later than you were scheduled to start the next pack of the old pill.
What is the color of the active pill in a pack?
The color of the active pills in a birth control pack varies by brand. Contact your pharmacist for information specific to your birth control pill.
When do you start your new pack of birth control pills?
You start your new pack of pills when you finish your old pack. Lets say you had you last pill on a Wednesday, you then start your new pill on Thursday. If its your first pack you have ever taken then you either start your first pill on the day you start your period or on the Sunday during your period. At first you period will not go with the pill correctly; it my take a month or two for your period to adjust.
What happens if your period is late and you are on the pill?
you probably missed a couple, go back and check your pill pack.
Which pill is the reminder?
It should be the last pill in the pack that is different colored from the active pills. Different pill brands different color pills.
Why would you have your period in the middle of your pill pack?
I can't explain why, but it is normal. Your body is getting used to the hormone so it can take a while before they happen at the end of the pill pack.
Periods coming in a few days how can you skip it?
Are you on the pill. Because if you are just start another pill pack on the week that you would normally start your placebo (no hormone) pills. That way you won't have your period until the end of the next pill pack.
When the pill is finish should i start a new pack?
yes
What do you do if you are taking Mononessa and you take next Saturday's pill this Saturday?
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.
