Question
hi, i was meaning to start back on the micrgynon pill on wednesday 11th june but i missed it as well as thurs & friday, i remembered saturday & missed again sunday but i taken it this morning. (sorry if it all sounds confusing)i don't take them at the same times everyday either. please can you help me thankyou for your time.

Answer
If you are sexually active during this time, it's possible that you could be pregnant. If you miss one or two pills, you should take as soon as you remember. However, if you miss 3 or more, then you should discard that pack and start over because you missed too many. If you want to use the birth control pill, it is important to take them as close to the same time every day. However, I don't recommend the pill or any kind of hormonal birth control method. I believe that the hormones are unnatural to our bodies and cause side effects. I recommend abstinence if you are not married or Natural Family Planning if you are in a marriage. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you want to talk more or find out more about the risks and side effects of the pill.

Sincerely,
