2 pills one day

[xoxoKahluaxoxo]

So, yesterday I was taking my pill, and it dropped. I couldn't find it right away and was out, so just took my next pill. About 5 minutes later i found my pill, and didnt have any where to put it where I was sure it wouldnt get lost so I just took it as well. Not really sure if that was the right thing to do or not. I know if you miss a pill you take two the next day... So should I do it backwards and just skip a pill today since I took two yesterday? Any advice is really appreciated.

i would just continue the rest of the pack at your normal scheduled time. sometimes i forget to take one, and don't realize it until i am getting ready to take the next one, so i just take them both at the same time.

if this is the only time you have done this in the whole month you should be fine

Not too bright. DO NOT skip a pill. The one day double-dose will not harm you but skipping one could leave you pregnant.

um to late. skipped the one yesterday but took my daily dose today... i guess i will use condoms the rest of the month and pray. maybe take an extra pill now and just stop the pack a day early.....

I wouldn't take another extra one.. then you'll really be outta whack!

lol i am really out of whack. god help me... haha. oh well next month no mishaps.

Why didn't you take the extra pill you found and put it back in the case?

[xoxoKahluaxoxo]

because i dont have a case/ i have this little pack, and when its the day you break the foil. i couldnt put it back in or it would merely fall out. and my purse is this giant thing that it would be swollowed in, so i just took it instead of losing a pill.

If you have difficulty following your pill regimen, why not switch to a different kind of birth control? I am on the ring, which I really like and recommend. It is the same hormones as the pill, but it's a plastic ring that you insert into your vagina and leave in for the full three weeks. Then you take it out for one week, and put a new ring in at the end of the week. It is very easy, you can just forget that you have it in. All you have to do is mark on the calendar the week that you will have it out for. I chose to be on it because I didn't want the hassle of remembering to take the pill at the same time every day. It is also totally inconspicuous and you can leave it in during sex. That way, you will never have the problem of forgetting to take a pill again.
