If you miss the first 10 pills of a new pack, I would recommend either (a) abstaining from sexual intercourse or (b) using a different method of Birth Control, ideally condoms, until your next period. On the Sunday following the beginning of your next period, you should start an entirely new pack of pills. Of course, you should try hard to be more consistent with the next pack.

There should be instructions in your pill packet.

Was of the pill a month started taking again and first week of taking forgot 6 pills can you be pregnant?

Yes. Missing this many pills makes the pack inactive and you unprotected. The pill works best when taken at the SAME time EVERYDAY! If you miss a pill take as soon as you remember and then take your next pill as recommended even if this means you take two pills in one day. If you miss more than 3 pills in a pack the pack is considered inactive and you need to use a back up method. You can stop using the back up after you've taken the first 7 pills of the new pack.

Miss the first pill?

Hello, If you have just starting BC pills and have missed the first pill in your pack then you have nothing to worry about. But please use protection for the first 4 weeks as you'll be at risk of pregnancy.

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!
