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.
Then do not have unprotected sex until you start your next pill pack...ON TIME.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
you probably missed a couple, go back and check your pill pack.
It should be the last pill in the pack that is different colored from the active pills. Different pill brands different color pills.
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.
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.
