Question
I am on the seasonal birth control. I missed one pill a few days ago and have now started my period, two weeks early.  Should I stop taking the active pills and restart a new pack on Sunday?

Answer
Please consult your doctor about this. I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control. I have done research on this subject and have heard many stories about hormonal birth control methods. Do you even need to be on birth control at all? I can't diagnose over the internet so you will have to ask your doctor. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so you can update me on what's happening. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
